Geothermal+Energy



Geothermal is a costly but efficient method of obtaining energy directly from the Earth's heat from the core. Although it takes a lot of money to first build the structure for capturing energy, it takes little money to run the actual plants. There are three ways in which the heat from the core is converted into usable energy. The usage of dry steam, flash, and binary power plants.(EERE, Geothermal)

The method of dry steam involves the usage of steam from the ground to turn the turbine that is connected to a generator.

Flash plants use hot water from the ground to make steam and turn the turbine.

Binary power plants take hot water from the ground to boil organic fluids that turn the turbine, thus make energy.
