The upper six miles of the Earth's crust contains 50,000 times as much energy as found in all Earth's oil + gas reserves combined. Our big problem: On Earth only 11,000 megawatts of geothermal electricity is generated Why did we say 'problem'? Geothermal energy reduces our emissions Geothermal reduces cost for heating/cooling Emissions that cause Climate Change Emissions that endanger our health 
Geothermal energy - free energy from the EarthGeothermal powerGeo = Greek = EarthThermal = 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. Ask us for more information! 
A geothermal pump is pushing temperature up At our Nature Preserve in the Texas Hill County we use the power of the sun: 
A) to produce electricity with our windmill  
B) to produce electricity with Photovoltaics   C) to warm up our water with the sun 
Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation is using Solar energy in different ways. YOU can do that too! We give information
You can get advice from us: It is easy to use the sun |
For One Dollar a month
you can Join
Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation
to give more people
the knowledge to better understand Nature!
We show and explain solar panels = photovoltaic
Earth population is growing,
more people produce more CO2
so more global warming and
climate change will endanger our children!
Nature will survive without Humans
BUT
Humans cannot survive without Nature
