Iceland and geothermal energy

Iceland has harnessed the potential of geothermal energy, heating 90% of its houses and producing 30% of its electricity with geothermal. Geothermal energy is very important in Iceland that relies 100% on renewables for both electricity and house heating. The cascading use of geothermal was also pioneered in Iceland and has created new industries in Iceland through the circular economy mindset of making the most of each resource. Icelandic expertise in geothermal is also a valuable export product.

Maybe this partly explains why Iceland has such natural beauty.

Most of the Western States in the United States could be running off geothermal energy. But no we have to have wind and solar.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

I wonder how much energy could be harvested from the Yellowstone supervolcano. It would have the added benefit of cooling or freezing the magma chamber and preventing a cataclysmic eruption.

[@okamijubei]

Wind and solar shouldn't be treated as a rival. Geothermal can be part of the solution too... Along with nuclear. But the problem with geothermal is geological activity locations. You can't use that power everywhere because they cannot be found anywhere, they only be use specifically somewhere like in Hawaii and it's volcanoes or Wyoming and it's geysers and such. Which also have risks with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

@@gregorymalchuk272 Yellowstone is a protected National Park. No industrial complex can built there.

Wind in Kansas solar in California

[@sadee1287]

What is your complaint? There's nothing wrong with solar or wind. The sun shines, the sun is a limitless source of energy. For the other 12 hours, energy from wind is also available almost continuously. In terms of the potential of both we have barely scratched the surface. And yet people like you criticize. Senseless and stupid. Geothermal is another source of energy. Combined - all would provide the energy humans require all over the earth. But antiquated and outdated critics need to step aside and work towards this, instead of embracing polluting and earth decimating energies for profit.

very good

Wow!

This was wonderful documentary,l like it keep up. Besaid that thankyou for posting my pictures in this great documentary of Icelandic.

nice video God bless Iceland

How do I get a job there at one of those plants?

Asking the same!

Containment of energy is certainly the greatest sustainable development since we invented fire, or at least the containment of its power. Here’s hoping we don’t encourage ruin into living via damaging natural networks.

[@HumanMeasure]

Notes. 1.00 we stopped doing coal. We gotta be careful cuz look at shell groningen and then realize we shouldnt fuck with underground nature too much.

[@SKF358]

It's perpetual energy, not "renewable." Once used, you don't reconstruct the hot lava you just used. Rather, it just never ends; it's forever, or perpetual. It's there until the Earth ends, which is when it doesn't matter anyway.

[@c4lliban]

Should or can huge amount of energy-dens industries be moved to where the energy is? How much geothermal energy could be built up in Iceland? easy to get there by boat also. :D Will you be europes new germany? :D

[@meindepp1938]

Why don’t you add production of H2 production and a pipeline to Central Europe?

[@Matsoni85]

Thats a big pipe, do they have enough

[@SkepticalCaveman]

Liquid hydrogen is a better option because it is ships that will need hydrogen the most anyway, so they can use it as both as fuel and ship it around the word at the same time. Hydrogen in pipes is a very bad idea.

[@izoyt]

no need for pipes, just cables will do (and some transformers in between)) . eu should strongly consider iceland as main 100% green energy source, since tall this wind/solar bs is a joke. i realy cant understand, how this is not 1st agenda, when e talk about infrastructure projects etc.

Doesn’t natural co2 emissions only get hastened by harnessing geothermal energy? If it does, it isn’t “green” at all.

[@sadee1287]

How would that be an issue? Volcanoes are going to belch regardless of whether their energy is harvested or not. Geysers blow. Hot springs are free heat. Might as well make use of that energy for our needs. Solar and wind as well. It makes no sense for you to continue to defend polluting the earth with coal, oil, fracking and nuclear when we've barely tapped the alternatives. And spare me by commenting that nuclear is green. You have to mine the uranium, or plutonium, which is radioactive. Where do you plan to discard the spent rods? Have you forgotten about Fukushima? About Chernobyl? About Three Mile Island? smh

[@peacekeepermoe]

At which part of geothermal energy harnessing process is CO2 produced exactly? They are not burning anything... they are simply harnessing the heat and using it for winter heating, green houses, under-pavement heating in the winter, and converting some of the heat to electricity. Nothing is burned, I don't think. I could be wrong.

[@dodiewallace41]

The goal should not be renewable. The goal should be clean reliable power while minimizing environmental impact. Calling something Renewable tells us absolutely nothing useful about energy sources, RE is nothing but a misleading marketing term like all natural or chemical free. Let's retire the useless term Renewable.
