1. 4000 years with this alone acording to mit study from 2006 =)

2. @martinarse yep! also if u drill down like 2-3 miles beneath the surface there is energy obtainable anywhere on land or sea for energy.

3. EVERYONE GOOGLE”INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY”BY NIKOLA TESLA!he gives all of the energy resources that you can use without ruining the environment and how to build them! he wrote this article for people who care like you greenpeace! this was 100 yrs ago! the wireless power tower sends a form or radiowave that allows for industrial running of machinery and emits no pollution!please i put up a ton of information to show that it works, i also demonstrate a 20 ft wireless transmission with a small model!

4. Here in Brazil, there’s no geothermal power plants.

5. And the reason we’re not all using this is because…?

6. that’s really cool

7. Very interesting. We have to use renewable energy.

8. aside from “free” energy systems, this is probably the most usable form of energy we have to get rid of oil dependance…

9. What kind of project are you working on?
   college?

10. Wow thx i don’t know about other people – but this really helped me with my project thanks heaps

11. geo thermal energy at this stage has enough energy under the earths crust to energize the whole planet for a million years.i believe that is the facts .also look up zeitgeist 2 they have a section on geothermal energy with all the info

12. Im not an expert, but i heard in a TV-program that it could replcace a Nuclea-Powerplant.

13. hello janouy 1234 i am alex and i’m from greece
    my country has enormous amounts of geothermal energy(unused even today)
    if you asking globaly how much energy then the answer is about 500% of the world’s energy demand
    NO IT’S NOT A MISSPELLING YOU READ CORRECTLY 500% ( AT LEAST )

14. It depends on the city location, not only its size. And it will replace a lot of carbon (coal, fuel, gas, etc) that you need to warm and boil water. And if you use this electricity for cars or trains it will also replace these CO2 emissions. Or you can use its heat directly to warm houses during winter instead of nafta, (this is much cheaper for houseowners but it is also a waste of a great potential because it only uses surface heat)

15. Question!!
    How much Energy will this produce?
    In other words what will it replace?
    and how big of a city will it be able to support?
    I would be grateful for a reply.
    Thanks

16. 1. GLOBAL WARMING IS FAKE!!!!!
    but yeh, we have knda damged the environment more than we should.
    2. at that level of pressure & heat & raidoactivity, all matter will want to tuern inot its most stable form: iron, the stuff the inner core is made of.

17. Relax, the core is highly radioactive, & will remain hot, 4 trillions of years, warming the magma.

18. very interesting, this help me with my project on energy development 4 science!

19. me2

20. hurrah this ehlped me with my science project!

21. can anyone tell me what software i can use to create some animation similar to this?

22. I hope you guys are right because it would be a shame for mankind to screw the planet even more, I mean we already screwed the air and water whats next the planet’s core/soul… I hope not

23. Not entirely. Geothermal actually heats less than nuclear energy, but a LOT more than solar and water energy combined. However, it does require time for the Earth to refresh the source. It’s renewable, but we need it to renew to use it. :)

24. Try with Solidworks. I have friends who have done very interesting animation-stuff like this with it, but a little more simple because we’re engineers, not CGI experts.

25. It’s not the same. Chemical pollution is fast and progressive in fluids like oceans, rivers or the atmosphere. Heat pollution in solids is very small and one-directioned. The acuipher under the power plant might be damaged by water pollution, but not by the power plant because it’s a water closed system.
