This is only possible if we start using other renewable energy sources, instead of natural fossil fuels.
According to scientists, if we continue to use energy in current rate, we may run out of oil in about 40 years and gas soon after.
We only have these fossil fuels because they have been forming deep within the earth over millions of years, and once we finish them, will take another million years more to recreate them again.
Hence the need to find good sources of renewable energy, so that we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.A major potential source of energy we use hardly lies beneath our feet.Deep within the Earth, there are a lot of hot water and steam that can be used to heat our homes and offices and generate clean electricity and energy efficient. This is called geothermal energy.The middle of the Earth is extremely hot and the deeper you dig, the hotter becomes the core, which is about 4000 kilometers below the surface, has the ability to reach temperatures of 7.600 degrees centigrade.Some of this heat was left due to formation of the Earth, which happened around 4 billion years ago, while the rest is due to constant decomposition of radioactive isotopes inside the Earth.
The heat inside the Earth is so strong that he can easily melt rocks. molten rocks, then are known as magma. And how the magma has lower density of rocks around him, he rises to the surface, sometimes slip through the cracks in the Earth's crust, erupting volcanoes as part of lava.
But mostly, magma remains below the surface, heating of the surrounding rocks and water that lies within these rocks sometimes hot water also escapes through cracks in the Earth to form small puddles of hot water (hot springs) or overflows forming a source of hot water and steam. hot water or steam that is broke out with pressure is strong enough to drive turbines to generate electricity or heat their homes. However, a problem must be addressed while opting for this energy source that will be addressed in the coming posts.
