is geothermal energy better than e-85, nuclear, solar,wind, water?

Question

tell me proof please =]

Answer 1

Well, better is a relative term... E-85 is definately better than geothermal energy when it comes to running an internal combustion engine (ie - your car), as geothermal energy is not portable. But I've never heard of running a power plant on E-85, so geothermal would definately be "better" than E-85 for creating power for homes/businesses.

As for nuclear, wind, solar, and hydrothermal (not to mention coal fired power plants, which is where we get most of our electricity, or power plants run on methane ("natural gas")).... It depends on your location. In most parts of the world there is simply no access to the kind of geothermal heat required to make any significant amount of electricity. In a place like Iceland it is very possible - but there is no way to access the hot inner earth if you're live in a place like Minneapolis, MN. So obviously, geothermal energy would be a poor choice in these places.

Still, in places where you DO have access to the hot inner earth, you have what is basically an unlimited supply of thermal energy that doesn't put any extra pollution into the atmosphere at all. So, in those places - yes, geothermal is better... but in general, geothermal energy is not practical.

Answer 2

You have described Al Gore. Reject the energy guzzling mansion and preaching. The earth has periods of warmth and cold over hundreds of years, so any natural phenomenon should not be preached against and a modest home would use much less energy.

Answer 3

what's ur criteria for quality of an energy type lol, "better"??
