I can't believe I let a racist get me mad... Anyways, I always wondered why geothermal was so "limited". It's EGS that is UNlimited. Even better than the almost unlimited nature of concentrated solar power with molten salt heat storage. The only thing better about all them mirrors is that they can help reflect the sun to make up for all that heat brought up from below (even though less than CO2 entrappment). The heat from Earth is about a google times the heat we use... Right on Google!

mapleneck that is

What does that make of you? A worm!

IM doing a science project on Geo-Thermal and this gave me lots of information :) Unfortunatly its Not enough :{

I recently did a presentaion Geo-Thermal energy and I must say that it would be only a benifit to us

75% Koolaid drinkers on these comments. Anyone who thinks this might cool the earth's core is mindnumbingly uh,... IQ challenged. Try doing a little research before you made these kind of comments please. Geothermal will be the ultimate winner in the energy race within 200 years or so. The earth will cool when the sun starts cooling, not because we heat water in her crust and pipe it to the surface. Geez...

what seems like a good idea now might probably not be such a good idea if the whole world goes nuts with this. Energy is not free, the easiest to imagine consequence is having the core of the earth a few degrees cooler, what could be the effects on this on the planet? I'm all for it, but it should be regulated, we can't abuse the core's heat, it must be keeping us alive somehow.

"The Law of conservation of energy is simple. You don't have to have a nobel prize to tell that the core would cool down." I don't think this is really anything to worry about, even on scales of millions of years. The earth's mass is 5.9736×10^24 kg - that is to say ridiculously massive - and 99.9% of it is much hotter than the surface. We're always going to be able to pull heat out. In addition to the huge amount of heat already there, more is being added by nuclear decay. Really can't run out

Kayshadog , OldsterStillLearning Great comments and I agree with you guys, solar and wind energy technologies didn't harm anyone. But this method, although promising, raises some questions ... the ones you've came up with
