Question by : what are the disadvantages of using geothermal energy?
i have to do a project on geothermal energy. can anyone tell me the disadvantages of using it?

Answer by Sir Cairo There has been an issue about the relationship of geothermal energy harnessing and earthquakes. There are roaming news that geothermal locations where geothermal plants are built are having “minor earth seizures”. But like what I said, it’s roaming news, so I really don’t know if it’s true.
Welcome to Ingram’s Water and Air Equipment! We will introduce you to geothermal systems and technology, with which you could enjoy the natural warmness of the earth for your home heating and cooling purposes, and do so very economically. Geothermal heat pumps are environmentally friendly, using the earth’s even temperature and renewable energy as the source for controlling heating and air conditioning. Unlike a conventional system, geothermal pump systems mainly utilize the earth’s warmth for heating and cooling your home. One of the prime benefits associated with its usage is that it helps to lower energy consumption and reduce costs by up to 50%. An added benefit to a geothermal system is that there is no need for separate equipment in order to cool your home. Prolonged operating intervals, gradual and even distribution of heat, zero greenhouse gas emissions, and improved interior comfort are the other significant benefits of using geothermal systems. Let us see how a geothermal system works! The system extracts heat from the ground during winter and puts it back into the ground during summer. For the functioning of all types of geothermal systems, three major components are necessary: ground loop, a heat pump furnace unit, and a distribution system. The ground loop system involves a chain of high density polyethylene pipes, all of which are buried in the home’s yard, and its primary function is to collect heat from soil underneath the frost line.

DOWNLOAD HERE: newsdirect.nma.com.tw Enhanced geothermal systems are a new type of geothermal power than can be used where naturally occurring geothermal systems do not exist. With enhanced geothermal systems, an injection well is drilled into dry rock. Water is forced into the injection well, which widens the ground fractures below. This process is known as ‘hydraulic stimulation’. Water travels through fractures in the rock and becomes hot. This water then travels up a production well. The steam from this water is then used to drive a turbine and thus produce electricity. Video Rating: 5 / 5
This made us laugh a lot.. classic blonde moment or innocent, raw enthusiasm?? On a very cold morning in NZ with very heavy frost, we same upon this steamy water and I thought what better way to warm up! the temperature was around 0 as I strip off to get in thinking how nice it will be to slide into the warm water… as my very patient and wise friend looks on, she gently talks like Anastasia with calm and unconditional love as I attempt to get in.. I was very serious.. good thing I didnt just dive straight in like I normally do in waterholes everywhere! the water was boiling hot and I probably would have sank in the mud! not as cosy as it looked.. the next day I went in the thermal baths designed for bathing – to experience the power of the minerals and the warm thermal waters… I felt the power of birth from the Earth and couldnt help dancing and singing in a deeply sacred way..
