Tap the power from volcanoes.


The vastly unexplored power source in the world is geo thermal-the heat that stays latent under the earth or inside the volcanoes.

It is not necessary for me to point out the potentiality of the power that can be tapped when a volcano erupts and spews thermal energy that can even burn an entire nation.

I am sure many scientists in the world would have contemplated on the idea of tapping geo thermal energy as an alternate source of power. Alaskan officials have invited companies to lease the rights to explore geothermal resources beneath Mount Spurr, a snowcapped 11,070-foot volcano that most recently erupted in 1992 showering much of Anchorage with volcanic ash.

Nearly 200 million acres can be powered by this alternate energy.

That would be an awesome energy resource... Right now is the time to start throwing every idea we think of on the table for sure though...

Good post.

How is that possible to store the power of a volcanoes. We still don't have the technologies.
