Topic: energy and power

Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the Earth's crust that originates from the formation of the planet and radioactive decay of materials in currently uncertain but possibly roughly equal proportions. A geothermal resource requires fluid, heat, and permeability to generate electricity: •    Fluid - Sufficient fluid must exist naturally or be pumped into the reservoir. •    Heat - The Earth's temperature naturally increases with depth and varies based on geographic location.  •   ...
