imagine harnessing the power of
0:12
volcanoes to generate electricity while
0:15
using red hot lava sounds dangerous
0:17
countries like the US and Iceland are
0:19
already tapping into volcanic heat to
0:22
create a clean renewable energy source
0:25
could volcanoes be the key to a
0:27
sustainable energy future
0:31
geothermal energy comes from the natural
0:34
heat deep within the Earth in volcanic
0:36
areas this heat is intense enough to
0:39
melt rock into magma while not all magma
0:41
reaches the surface it Heats surrounding
0:44
rocks and water creating hot springs and
0:50
geysers to turn this heat into
0:53
electricity Engineers drill deep into
0:55
the Earth near volcanoes to reach the
0:57
hot rocks and water the steam that rises
1:00
from these well spins turbines
1:02
generating electricity afterward the
1:05
steam cools and condenses back into
1:07
water ready to be reheated
1:13
underground geothermal energy stands out
1:15
because it's available day and night
1:18
unlike solar power and works through all
1:20
seasons unlike wind power it produces
1:23
far less pollution and greenhouse gases
1:26
than fossil fuels making it a cleaner
1:28
and more sustain able option plus
1:31
geothermal energy sources can last for
1:34
decades offering a long-term reliable
1:37
solution for our energy
1:42
needs why isn't geothermal energy more
1:45
widespread it requires volcanic heat
1:47
which isn't available everywhere the
1:50
cost of drilling and building power
1:52
plants can be high and there's a risk of
1:54
causing small earthquakes despite these
1:57
challenges with advancing technology G
1:59
geothermal energy has the potential to
2:01
play a major role in our sustainable
2:03
energy future thanks for watching if you
