Neo-Geothermal

Geothermal companies are about to become the next big thing and there is a good reason for that. The geothermal energy segment is becoming really lucrative for investments, so if you are an investor, you might want to consider buying geothermal stock, because the shares are expected to rise. Some of you would say that this is a pretty bold prediction, but if you do a research on that, you will see what I mean.
For example, Ormat Technologies has delivered a more than 150% gain, between January and September …

A geothermal power plant produces geothermal energy. The word “geothermal” is actually a combination of two Greek words – geo and therme with geo meaning earth and therme meaning heat. Geothermal energy is produces by the steam and hot water coming from the core of the earth. The best thing about all geothermal power plants is that they don’t pollute the environment as much other more traditional energy sources, like burning fuel for example. The purpose of this article is to explain how geothermal energy power plants work.
Here is the …

The Environmental Protection Agency named geothermal heating systems “the most energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive of all space conditioning systems.” Geothermal heating systems use the earth as a source of heat and a heat sink. A series of pipes, form something that’s called a “loop,” which connects the geothermal system’s heat pump to the earth. There are two basic types of loops: open loop and close loop.
The open loop geothermal heating system has been used with great success for several decades now. Open loop systems work by drawning an aquifer …

The first questions that comes up to your mind when you hear about geothermal energy is probably “How does geothermal energy work?” This article tries to answer that questions and also explains some interesting geothermal energy facts.
Geothermal comes from the Greek words “Geo” (earth) and “Therme” (heat). So in that sense, you have probably already figured out that geothermal energy is heat from within the earth. We can actually use the steam and hot water inside the earth’s core to heat buildings and produce electricity. A very important eco fact …
