Howdy! Here’s my idea for Lava-Love Mother Nature Month! I snuck out today without anyone noticing and I caught sight of something CowaCowaBunga Cool! I bumped into a bunch of scientists and watched them tinker with some giant machines. They were trying to extract steam heat from deep within the Earth’s crust to generate electricity to power our homes, computers and iPODs! They call it geothermal energy.
Geothermal means heat from the earth. The energy is clean, reliable and plentiful. It’s a great renewable fuel source that most people have not even heard of! Why? Cost. It’s very expensive to build the giant machines to extract the heat from mother earth. But with so many smart people working on it, they’ll figure out how to make it happen! Sounds coolala CowaCowaBunga, huh? Most people have heard of wind and solar as alternative energy sources, but geothermal, I HUALA-LAVA-LOVE it!
Did you know that according to the Earth Policy Institute, there is 50,000 times more heat energy contained in the first six miles of the Earth’s crust than in all the planet’s oil and natural gas resources? Click here to get the lowdown on geothermal! Hee Hulala Haw!
