Alternative Energy Position


Geothermal energy is my favorite alternative energy. It is not very expensive and makes electrical and heating energy. The only problem is the possibility, which is very rare, of earthquakes. In addition, I believe a combination of nuclear, geothermal, and solar powers is the best. I find these make the cleanest energy, and make the least changes to the environment. However, there are problems with all of these energies and I am open for opinion. If there are problems with these please post something. Here is why I think that this combination is the best.
1. Geothermal energy- Geothermal energy is made from taking superheated fluid from the earth. Then the fluid is made under different amounts of pressure to make steam. This pushes a turbine to make electrical energy. This energy is good for electric power and heating power.
2. Nuclear power- Nuclear power is made under a similar process. The water is heated however, using nuclear fission of uranium. This makes great electrical energy.
3. Solar power- Solar energy is made in a complicated process. Basically, solar panels take in sunlight an convert it into energy. This would be used in vehicles, space missions, and electrical energy.
Overall, these powers are clean and can be easily made. Please tell me if you disagree.
