Geothermal energy and the environment

Abstract

This report explains the source of geothermal energy, the origin of the underground water the geysers and the process of heating. It also gives a brief account on how it is drilled, piped to turn the turbines which in turn generate electricity and the pollutant associated with it plus their effect on the environment. This report also discusses the major and minor geothermal pollutants considering their effect on the environment, human beings, land use, wild life and vegetation. It gives an accurate scientific analysis of the minor and major pollutants bringing forth good understanding to the effects of geothermal pollutants and nullifying some misleading assumptions and theories which were considered appropriate there before
