Alternative Energy Development Geothermal Hydropower Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Ocean thermal energy makes use of the temperature difference of the warm ocean surface water and cold water in depths below 2,000 feet to generate electricity. Net power can be generate electricity. Net power can generated so long as a difference of 40 or more degrees Fahrenheit exists between the warm upper layer and the cold deep water. Although OTEC has been successfully tested in small plants, a pilot plant of commercial size needs to be built to further document economic feasibility. At Keahole Point on the Island of Hawaii, NELHA is considered the world's foremost testing facility for OTEC and OTEC-related activities. Solar Energy Hawaii's location close to the tropical zone provides very high levels of solar radiation (also called insolation). Using this radiation, solar thermal power or PV power can provide Hawaii with several alternative sources of power to replace imported petroleum. About 55,000 households in Hawaii use solar water heaters, making Hawaii the state with the nation's highest per capita installation of these solar devices. An estimated 1,000 or more residential and commercial PV installations are in use throughout the state. Wind Power Hawaii has some of the best conditions in the world for wind power, and the state was second only to California in commercial wind-energy generation. Wind power in Hawaii now ranks third among its renewable resources that provide electricity to the utility grids. Although most Hawaii wind farms are small compared to Mainland installations, they contributed over 23 million kWh of electricity in 1992.

The primary energy sources used today are fossil fuels. All other sources of energy are called alternative energy. Alternative energy can be renewable or nonrenewable. Here are some of the alternative energy sources along with the bad and good news that comes with each energy source. Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is the useful conversion of natural heat from the interior of the Earth to heat buildings and to generate electricity. This type of power is being used presently in Russia, Iceland, and California. It is only considered to be nonrenewable when used at greater extraction rates than natural replenishment. Bad News : The environmental impact of geothermal energy is not as extensive as other sources of energy but it is considerable. Environmental problems include on-site noise, emissions of gas, and disturbance of the land for the site and pipes. As well, the production of energy and electricity from geothermal reservoirs is rather expensive and only applicable in limited areas. Some cultures, Hawaiin for example, are offended by the use of an underground source for energy. Good News : Development of geothermal energy does not require large-scale transportation of raw materials. It does not produce the pollutants that burning fossils fuels does or the problems associated with storing radioactive waste.

HOME FAQ CONTACT US Geothermal Energy Basics Course No. C-1001 Back to Civil Courses Credit: 1 PDH Overview Geothermal energy uses the flow of thermal energy from beneath the Earth's surface to heat homes and businesses and generate electricity. Geothermal energy is also used in many industrial and commercial applications, such as agriculture, fish farming, food dehydration, gold processing and milk pasteurizing. Geothermal energy has many advantages over other forms of energy. It is cleaner and more abundant than fossil fuels. In fact, the thermal energy in the uppermost six miles of the Earth's crust amounts to 50,000 times the energy of all oil and gas resources in the world. With advances in technology, geothermal energy is becoming a more economically viable energy choice for many applications. In this course, the student will review the document "Geothermal Energy... Power from the Depths" published by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This publication describes the basics of geothermal energy and outlines its advantages relative to other energy sources. This course is relevant to engineers who are interested in learning about an alternative energy source that can potentially reduce the energy costs and emissions of a plant, business or residence. The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

A geothermal energy system uses a series of buried pipes to transfer heat from the ground into a building during winter, where it is used to warm air that is distributed through ducts. The same system can also heat water at no additional cost.

Geothermal Energy: The Heat is on the New Mexico Greenhouses Introduction by R. Berhage, R. Schoemackers and J.C. Witcher Energy costs are heating up again as an issue for greenhouse operators in the U.S. With the gradual increase in the cost of traditional fossil fuel, it's a good time to look at alternative energy sources. Geothermal is a proven, environmentally benign, alternative energy source for greenhouse production. Low operating costs from shallow geothermal reservoirs can result in substantial energy cost savings compared to traditional fossil fuels. A number of commercial greenhouses, both large and small, are already taking advantage of geothermal heat in the southwest to reduce their energy costs and increase their profitability.

MORE ABOUT ENERGY THE ENERGY SCRAPBOOK Here's some more interesting stuff about the environment, electricity, and other renewable energy resources. Energy for Keeps A Sustainable Energy Future - dream or reality Every Breath You Take ... Energy Timeline . . . See if you can you add something A Sustainable Energy Future - dream or reality Imagine this. The year is 2030 A.D. Renewable energy sources are supplying over 50% of the United States' energy needs. Total energy use has decreased dramatically from its exorbitant 1990's level. Multi-megawatt windfarms, solar thermal farms and biomass plants dot the landscape. Biofuels and solar-derived hydrogen make many of our cars, trains and buses go. Photovoltaic energy technology is converting sunlight directly into electricity in remote locations. Hydropower continues to provide electricity using such technology as run-of-the-river facilities which don't need huge dams. High-temperature and direct-use geothermal energy are household words; and geothermal heat pumps warm homes everywhere. Is this a futuristic dreamscape? No, it is part of the sustainable energy forecast of many energy experts who are encouraging major state and federal policy shifts in order to make the above scenario a reality. The concepts of the sustainable energy strategy-combining energy conservation, environmental protection, and the use of "renewable" resources-are becoming integral to plans for wise energy use. In fact, many of these ideas are no longer dreams for the future. They are being put into motion today by leaders who want to see a cleaner, brighter tomorrow.

77. Solar, Geothermal Energy Benefit Homes They are too pleased with their decision to use (alternative) energy. Hatfield says several other people in his area are now installing geothermal units. http://www.msfb.com/news/Farmcountry/nov02/Solar, geothermal energy benefit home

Solar, geothermal energy benefit homes by Glynda Phillips Willie Hatfield, a Prentiss County truck crop farmer, uses a geothermal heating and cooling unit in his 2100-square-foot farmhouse near Rienzi. Allen Ainsworth heats his Rankin County home with solar panels. "My electric bill averages around $60 a month," Hatfield said. "The geothermal unit cost more than a conventional unit, but I feel that it will pay for itself down the road." Ainsworth says solar panels have cut his electric bill by about one-third "We decided to get the solar panels in the late 1980's when the federal government was offering a tax rebate on energy cost-saving measures. This has more than paid for itself," he said. "Plus it keeps us good and warm in the winter months." Hatfield, a Prentiss County Farm Bureau board member, majored in ag engineering at Mississippi State University then came home to help his father farm what was then a row crop and beef cattle operation. "I've always been interested in how things work," he said. "So when my wife and I decided to build this house five years ago, I began to try and figure out what would be best for our energy needs in the years to come. These would be our retirement years, and we would be living on a fixed income," he added. "I did my research, talked with a local dealer and learned that TVA had an incentive program for homeowners to go all electric," he said. "I also learned that the geothermal unit would help me out on the price of electricity."
