I love the idea of getting the inside of the earth, where things are pretty darn warm, to heat the outside of the earth (inside our homes, not outside) with geothermal energy. It sort of gives a new meaning to the concept of "global warming." We can warm our globe in winter by the tapping into the inner furnace of the earth. That's a pretty cool idea, er, maybe cool is not a good word to use there, but you get the idea. So does the U.S. Government apparently, because it has earmarked $84 million for geothermal energy projects (which translates to new jobs, by the way) over the next few years.
Read more about the benefits and expansion of geothermal energy by clicking the link below. It isn't a long article, and it isn't filled with technogeek jargon, so go, be ye informed, and remember that I called geothermal energy the "new global warming" first. Then embrace your inner geek and try to drop the phrase "geothermal energy" nonchalantly into your dinner conversation tonight to impress your friends and family.
