Geothermal plants


What is all about the geothermical plants? Have you ever seen one? If you are spanish it would be hard to find one because there isn't any! there have been a lot of critization about the wastage from Spain. Spain is wasting all of its heat from the sol which could be use to produce cheap and easy energy. Many journals like -La Razon- critize this waste, in articles like this *here i leave you a link with the article on it, real shame that is that it is in spanish!*
http://www.larazon.es/detalle_hemeroteca/noticias/LA_RAZON_341937/4408-geotermia-espana-desaprovecha-el-calor-que-almacena-la-tierra#.UYFQzbVGI0J
 It gives you some information about how good can make to Spain having geothermals plants.

But there are plenty of countries which are really into the geothermal world like - Iceland has an abudance of this energy source. All this is for its peculiar topography of volcanoes. in findland geothermal energy gives the 60% energy from the natural energy. Iceland is a really weird place beacuse even countries which have worked on this energy source, their use only goes to a 1%.
But the most expert countrie on geothermal plants is New Zealand because of its also peculiar topography has been a really studied thing. The institute geothermical of New Zealand is the pioneere from the investigation of it, it is one of the youngest institucions and it was created on 1978 when the united nations asked for one. After this one there were more created in countries like Iceland , Italy or Japan. And why does these countries can be so realeated to geothermal energy but spain isn't? Basically because all of them are in the edges of tectonic plates with a big volcanoes topography(which is equal to eartquaques) = countries like: New Zealand, Island, Japan and Italy.

Here i leave you an amazing photo of how people in iceland can even get into the water in some lakes becaue of the hot which comes from the sol, so this shows how hot the sol should be to make this possible! (by the way, you can also see the geothermal plant on the photo!)




And finally here a leave you a link with more information about the Geothermal institute of New Zealand!
