Geothermal Energy Energy from our Sun
Energy from our Earth
Renewable Energy
updated February 2010
earth is still very hot under the surface, earth has only life because the sun shines on it and because the moon moves earth's crust. Solar energy makes life on earth possible. It took millions of years to produce fossil fuels. Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy all is renewable energy which helps to reduce pollution Keep Earth beautiful
 charitable NON Profit organization

Geothermal energy reduces our emissions
Emissions that cause Climate Change
Emissions that endanger our children
geothermal energy is energy taken out of the earth - geothermal energy will help us not to destroy Earth as we know it, geothermal energy saves money and reduces pollution Geothermal energy - free energy from the Earth

Geothermal power

Geo = Greek = Earth
Thermal = Greek = heat
Earth has a lot of energy stored that can be extracted. This geothermal energy is there from the beginning, the formation of our blue planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for space heating and bathing since ancient Roman times.
You can save money using Geothermal power, it is reliable, and environmentally friendly. Direct applications such as heating of buildings, homes have been used for decades. Emissions from Geothermal are much lower than those of conventional fossil fuels.
Geothermal power has the potential to reduce the effect of global warming if widely deployed instead of fossil fuels.

In 1904 the first geothermal generator was running in Italy. The largest group of geothermal power plants in the world is located at The Geysers, a geothermal field in California, United States.
Several countries as El Salvador, Kenya, the Philippines, Iceland, and Costa Rica) generate more than 15% of their electricity from geothermal sources.

Because we get the warmth of the Earth for free, the use of geothermal heat for space heating is far more efficient, saves a lot of money and is environmentally friendly. A few degrees difference are enough for a heat pump to heat your house, your office. Sources are waste heat supplied by co-generation from a geothermal electrical plant or from smaller wells or heat exchangers buried in the shallow ground. Water from hot springs can be piped directly into radiators. If the shallow ground is hot but dry, earth tubes or downhole heat exchangers may be used without a heat pump. But even in areas where the shallow ground is too cold to provide comfort directly, it is still warmer than the winter air. Seasonal variations in ground temperature diminish and disappear completely below 10m of depth.
That heat can be extracted with a geothermal heat pump more efficiently than it can be generated by conventional furnaces. Geothermal heat pumps can be used essentially anywhere. There are a wide variety of applications for cheap geothermal heat.

geothermal energy is energy taken out of the earth - pumps using geothermal energy will reduce greenhouses gases

At our Nature Preserve in the Texas Hill County
we use the power of the sun:

When the sun shines on Earth, air is heated up, wind appears. Air is always streaming from an high to a low. wind turbines are using the power of the sun to produce electricity or to pump water, or to produce air pressure. wind energy is a renewable energy source - get personal advice from us if wind power is working at your property
A) to produce electricity with our windmillwindmill at Bear Springs Blossom Nature Preserve is using solar power to produce up to 1000 watts and hour - wind power is renewable energy without pollution
photovoltaics or photo voltaic panels or photovoltaic solar panels transform solar energy to electricity - we use solar panels for a decade - we give you personal advice
B) to produce electricity with Photovoltaics solar cells or photovoltaics or solar electric panels are used at our nature preserve to produce electricity without polluting the air - solar power helps us to save money at Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation - we explain /educate the use of solar electrical energies, how to install a solar panel, how to connect photo voltaic, how several collectors in a row can boost your energy levels


Solar water heating or solar hot water panel, or solar thermal panel is using the power from the sun to heat up water or oil. We use a solar hot water system at our Nature preserve to provide hot water for 15 years. we give personal advice on how you can use solar hot water panels. Once installed it is free energy from the sun and our normal water heater is turned off - a Solar hot water panel is an investment with a great return, normally solar hot water energy pays you back in about 3 years
C) to warm up our water with the sun here you see an old solar hot water panel that heats up a 80 gallon water heater. Its a thermal system that transforms solar power to hot water. This is also renewable energy equipment - Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation provides education on renewable energy on how to use solar hot water panels how to harvest its energies

our sun produces more energy than we can ever use - our Sun in Latin Sol - is a yellow dwarf - and the center of the Solar System. The Earth and other matter including other planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and dust orbit the Sun, which by itself accounts for about 98.6% of the Solar System's mass. The mean distance of the Sun from the Earth is about 149,600,000 kilometers, or 92,960,000 miles, and its light travels this distance in 8.3 minutes. Energy from the Sun, in the form of sunlight, supports almost all life on Earth via photosynthesis, and drives the Earth's climate and weather

geothermal graphic, earth is warm, we can harvest its energy.
water heating panels are heating your water, so you save money on your electricity bill
We show and explain solar hot water panels

to keep Earth beautiful more people should us photovoltaic panels and produce their own electricity
We show and explain solar panels = photovoltaic

nature conservation: the only way to give children, grandchildren a safe future, with enough breathable air, enough healthy drinking water, with good climate, without violent weather, storms, floods. Nature conservation is not very costly but very efficient if all of us do just a little bit to reduce air + water pollution, to reduce co2 levels, to lower the impact of global warming + climate change
International Water conservation provides a safer future to children, grandchildren. Water conservation provides enough drinking water, a better climate, without food shortages. Polluted water causes higher food prices. Water conservation is cheap but very efficient if all of us a little bit to reduce water waste, water pollution. Humans need to drink water - drinking water has many health benefits - earth has an permanent water cycle, but polluted drinking water cannot be used - take action today, reduce water consumption - conserve water
soil conservation is the only way to secure our food supply, our drinking water supply, a stable climate - soil conservation is not costly but efficient. Reduce erosion and chemical soil contamination = soil conservation. Reduce co2 levels to lower the impact of global warming, climate change
