2.  Generating electricity from geothermal energy requires an industrial system which is not suitable for homes and business and as such is not successful worldwide.

3.  Geothermal energy is generated and stored in the earth and is created by radioactive decays but is mainly used in areas close to the crust, how can it be made general in future so that small homes can enjoy this energy?  How can geothermal energy be used to produce electricity?

4.  Small businesses and homeowners can get access to geothermal energy by having a geothermal heat pump installed in their homes or buildings which cools their home by drawing heat from underground.  To produce heat and steam which is used to heat a home or produce electric power.  It can be used to produce electricity by exploiting geothermal reservoirs to raise steam in order to power steam turbines. Equally, 3 geothermal power stations are needed: Dry steam, Flash steam and Binary cycle.

5.  geothermal energy determines the temperature of matter and at the earth's core, one has to dig about 4,000miles deep in order to determine this temperature.  To produce heat or electricity
