3. When geothermal energy was discovered
When was geothermal energy discovered? Who discovered it? Geothermal Energy was discovered in the 3rd century. The Chinese discovered Geothermal energy.
Prince Piero Ginori Conti the first geothermal generator tester on July 4th 1904

4. What do we use it for? Geothermal Energy is now used in heating and
cooling systems, Everyone
uses geothermal energy,
to cool and heat houses,
and many more things

5. How it's recovered
Geothermal energy goes to Large battery Systems Once it’s recovered or energy its

6. Where do we find geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is found in the Earth’s core/crust, also volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles. You cannot see geothermal energy, its usually underground. Geothermal energy is commonly seen as steam, which turns a turbine connected to a generator to generate electricity

7. Advantages and Disadvantages
It is a renewable source of energy
By far, it is non-polluting and environment friendly.
There is no wastage or generation of by-products
Unlike solar energy, it is not dependent on the weather conditions.
There is always a danger of eruption of volcano
Installation cost of steam power plant is very high
It may release some harmful, poisonous gases that can escape through the holes drilled during construction
There is no guarantee that the amount of energy which is produced will justify the capital expenditure and operations costs

8. Will we have geothermal energy in the future
It is used to cool residences and commercial and institutional
buildings. It is used in heat pump systems by those companies.
We used geothermal energy more in the past rather than
now. It has decreased.
It will be part of the future because
we need geothermal
energy to live. New technology
is being created
In 30 years there will be more
geothermal energy
