Geothermal Energy

Earlier, we had a lecture about geothermal energy. Particularly, the Calpine Corporation's "THE GEYSERS" Geothermal Field. The lecture was given to us by Mr. John Traller. He is working on the Geysers Geothermal Field. He was here on our school for a visit and have a lecture to us students all about the Geothermal Energy.

Geothermal energy is a thermal energy stored in the earth. In a geothermal power plant, the steam or hot water goes up from the ground and goes through a turbine. The steam will make the turbine turn and the turbine will make the generator turn and work and produce electricity. And the steam used to turn the turbine will undergo condensation and goes down through the ground back to where it came from so that there will be no lacking of fluids or water for high temperature vapor.

I also learned that geothermal energy is the best among all the forms of energy because it is safe, environmental friendly, and this vast source of clean, renewable energy is helping us meet our energy needs.

I learned much about geothermal energy and i enjoyed it. After many discussions, we ended up our lecture and Mr. John Traller gave us key chains from their company as souvenir.
