Muhamad Rizki lol, Indonesian opposed a geothermal project many times and keep being comfortable by extracting and burning coals for electricity. Well, good luck with that
this is not large scale effective but run easily 20 houses. you can do it also wind and solar power. in here new houses are take heat and turn it heat in houses so no need use electrisity so much
I wish Japan would implement geothermal, but the hot spring resort lobby is powerful. They seem to think that it'll affect their baths. I think there's plenty of heat to go around.
For having it? Hey dumb-ass it was the harvesting of it not having it that makes them good. Still with out all that like many other northern islands and countries Iceland would be the biggest per capita user of fossil fuels
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Connor Ashton thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey JACKASSS. I dislike this because of his stupid idea about the other countries doing the same. Didn't he started if by saying that Iceland was unique? There's you answer JACKASS
ayyyy, finally up. Geothermal energie so interesting (currently studying this topic in uni) people might wonder why so many dislikes. It is to tell them that something went wrong with the upload
For like 4-5 hours the video said it was not available to be played. That accounts for low views. Low rating might be because it pissed people off that it wouldnt play. Im guessing whoever set up this video to be posted messed something up.
”the uploader has not made the video available” and was for about 5 hours and people got furious and disliked it because a private video was rolled out to the sub-boxes.
85% of energy is renewable in Iceland. Cars and airplanes, and ferries still use carbon based fuels, and that will change more slowly as they switch to hydrogen or batteries. Probably 99.9% of electricity is renewable, some isolated areas still use diesel generators.
This along with Quaise Energy geothermal tunneler machine that melts the stone away would make it possible to put domes anywhere and grow tropical fruits even on Alaska
Geothermal energy is available anywhere on the planet. It doesn't have to be only in geologically active places. It's all a matter of how close the geothermal energy is to the surface in any one place. There is no large pocket of oil or gas whichis to deep to drill to if it's big enough. Same goes for geothermal energy, the deeper it (heat) is the more of it there is.
The rest of the world can learn from this by happening to exist in a geothermally active region. Why can't Las Vegas just move north and to the mid-atlantic ridge?
*Beautiful how the clean* and cheap electricity is making life much better in Iceland. Renewable electricity is like a wealth building machine for the countries that have it.
epSos.de Soooooo..... ....WHY have not everyone with volcanoes in their countries built thousands of these power plants? The Yellowstone caldera alone could power at least 1/3rd the United States. Say, did you ever notice that most countries happen to have nearly all of their volcanic land within Parklands and Nature preserves? Oh, that’s right, proposing to fanatics a reasonable compromise on minimum development within national parkland is like asking Muslims to build a sewage treatment plant within Mecca. If Iceland had previously made its wilderness “protected” in the same way, these power plants would never have been built.
@@eldermillennial8330 "The Yellowstone caldera alone could power at least 1/3rd the United States." Source needed. "Most countries happen to have nearly all of their volcanic land within Park-lands and Nature preserves?" In the US at least, almost all of these were created before Geothermal power was invented. Conspiracy theories help nobody and achieve nothing.
There is one point to geothermal energy in Iceland not talked a lot about, geothermal energy in geothermal cold areas. There is of course the tectonic belt going throw the middle of Iceland, where the usage of geothermal energy started. But in the so called cold areas outside this belt, we have started to look for geothermal energy. The man point is, you have to drill deeper, what is still feasible. The geothermal energy in those areas is mostly used for space heating, as you only get hot water and not steam. To produce electricity in those areas, you would need to go for binary systems or spend a lot of money to drill deep holes. It is more economic to go for the simpler steam flash systems, that you can use with the steam coming up in the tectonic belt, with holes down to 3,000 m. By now geothermal provides about 60% of the primary energy in Iceland, with 25% hydropower being in second place. Leaving around 15% to fossil fuels. Electrical energy is of course 100% green. We are starting to look at wind, in a very windy country. The use of fossil fuels will further decrease, as land transport is moving to EV.
I'm very curious.. I'm here in Hawaii on the Big Island and we have one geothermal plant. Which is currently non operational due to lava. The plant is in very very close proximity to many residents and housing developments as well as an elementary and a high school. We are against the plant trying to reopen. It has released dangerous levels of hydrogen sulfide in the past. Even accounts of dead birds falling from the sky. Who knows what it did to ourkeiki(children).
Earlier today I didn't even know how Geothermal Plants worked and I was exactly right what I thought. Water is pumped into the ground and heat from the earth turns it into steam which then spins a turbine.
There's even talk of using thermocouples in the oceans, which means generating electricity from the temperature differential between hot and cold. It's in the research stage now.
Hi, Were you at Fontana? :D When we visited Iceland Bluelagoon was full of tourists so we went "spa" where was not a lot tourist and it was of course Fontana :D
RedLeader327 They do, but they are super expensive and most people can't afford them. However, hybrid cars are very popular and we are 2nd in the world when it comes to electric cars (per capita)
The main problem in Iceland is though range and operation in cold climates. That is why electric cars are still rather few (compared to Norway) but increasing. Iceland is larger than Ireland (though the reporter talks about a small island) but with only 350.000 inhabitants. So driving in the capitol area can be done via electric cars but long destinations are still a problem with electric cars. But hopefully one day we will be world leader in electric car usage :)
@@lhaviland8602 I live in the capitol region in Iceland so I am very well aware of this. I also have one electric car as well as a diesel one for long range driving so I've got a pretty good picture of how things work here. For those who drive only in my region then electric cars would be sufficient (average daily drive is considered to be approx 30-40km). But we generally travel a lot in our own country (going abroad means air or sea travel ;) ) and if we are going to move totally to EVs then then building up the right type of an infrastructure is a must. Tesla claims to be building up 3 superchargers so it wouldn't come as a surprise that we might see something interesting happening here within the next 3-5 years or so :)
Geezers? Lots of Geezers in Iceland apparently. In the US we have Geezers too, but they only get hot and blow up when they are angry. Can you say road rage? Most have hair growing out of their ears.
With advancements in technology and innovation, we here in the United States could tap into geothermal energy, particularly in and around Yellowstone, and do the same on a much more wider scale, building an interstate steam pipeline system to power plants located in the western two thirds of the country. In order to do that though, we need vision and political leadership. This will not only create tens of thousands of jobs, but produce sustainable and renewable energy for the next 100 years and beyond. The geothermal economy.
While we could use Yellowstone for a small amount of our electricity, keeping steam hot over those distances is thermodynamically impossible. Sorry to burst your bubble. Hot Springs in Arkansas could provide heat to more people but it's in the south unfortunately.
Why so many dislikes ? People are so stupid nowadays, they do not appreciate education anymore.. they prefer to watch disgusting videos about gossip and nonvalues.
MorRobots for non-native speakers of English it could be useful, because they some extra input so that understanding comes easier. And also as a non-native speaker also need a cleaner input, than natives. Because they don't know have learned all the patterns of the language yet
@@xtreme1002003 that's called closed captioning, you can turn that option on if you like. it's a totally different thing than subtitles on some one speaking perfectly acceptable English.
Why iceland is so much into geothermal heat. Bc earth gets hot much quicker down at the bottom of earth. This is less in other countries. X$ cheaper than average price kwh in uk or sth. This means btc mining is more lucrative over here. There are 7 geothermal plants
The volcanic ash contains aluminum and silicon and mixing sodium hydroxide known also as caustic soda and mixed with a little water to mix and dissolved all of the ingredients and placed in a moderately heated overn for 10 o 15 minutes will turn it into a quick setting geopolymer binder. Mix and dissolved the volcanic ash with lime known also as quicklime or slake lime one can create the Ancient Roman cement binder, mixed with sand one gets a mortar, mixed with both sand and gravel one can get Ancient Western Roman concrete. In the Ancient Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire one mixes lime and powdered brick with fresh water river sand to create an EARTHQUAKE PROOF MORTAR which has a high tensile strenght as if reinforced with steel rebar reinforcement and is a 1,500 year old time-tested and time-proven technology exposed to the harsh marine coastal conditions of the Mediterranean Sea. The same can be said for the much older Ancient Western Roman Empire which is a much older 2,000 year old time-tested and time-proven technology exposed to all kinds of weather and climate conditions in both inland and coastal and offshore marine harbor conditions.
You get the same geothermal processes in Japan, although bathing culture is very different in a beautiful way. I think Taiwan and a few other Asian countries have geothermal waters as well.
The issue with some of those countries is that the geothermal locations are hotspots for tourism and already heavily owned/populated land... well speaking from personal experiences about Taiwan. I just hope we can do so with US since no one really gives a crap about those geothermal locations.
Isnt this option sort of available to ANYONE? Why do t we male geothermal powerplants everywhere? The only diff is how far you have to dig. The kola bore hole in russia also encountered superhigh heat.
no. in short u need volcanic activity.in another it cools on the way up so deeper = longer tubes cost more to dig drill and place cost/value maby not worth it if u can only light a lamp with it.look to denmark they got no volcanos and rivers but just use diffrent power.just use what u can afford
what about in Wyoming where there are ……………………..several Geysers out there…………………...and there are some geothermal plants already operating in the US……………………………...'''''''''The Geysers has 1517 megawatt (MW) of active installed capacity with an average capacity factor of 63%.

I heard there is a sulphuric smell to the running water in iceland due to geothermal origins? (Not talking bad about it, Iceland has some of the cleanest water sources on earth!)
