Geo-thermal energy

ByDiarmuid WardDaniel Pinzon Conor Mc NallyPeter Gallagher

They pump cold water deep into the earth, which is heated and made into steam by the heat, it is brought back up the the surface, which turns a turbine, which in turn, turns the generator!!!

Geothermal is better than fossil fuels because it will not run out, there is no

pollution and when it is built, its more or less free!!!

It is the best energy source because it can produce energy 24 hours a day in any

conditions!!!

Does not create pollution

power stations do not take up too much room

no fuel is needed

once you have built a geothermal power station the energy is almost free

• Hazardous gases may come up from underground and may be hard to dispose of.

• Sometimes a geothermal site may run out of steam.

Possibly for decades

So the main points are:

• Its cheap

• It can give us 24 hour electricity in any type of weater

• When the station is built, its more or less free
