Geothermal, or ground-source, heat pumps (GHPs) are a way to hit two birds with one stone &#8211; they reduce energy demand while at the same time encourage the use of renewable energy [&#8230;]</p>

Often the new techniques happen to be far from feasible, or just border-line crazy. The latest such idea comes from US scientists, who plan to throw water in a dormant volcano in Central Oregon and harness [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When we hear about carbon dioxide, it's like hearing of a serial killer. LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), and a CA-based company Symyx Technologies, instead, aided by several U.S. universities, have changed the image of this greenhouse gas a bit by putting it into a green job: geothermal energy harvesting.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Geothermal technology surely is one of the cleanest technologies available to us, extracting clean heat from the hot underground. This energy source is often seen as inexhaustible, and its benefits seem to outweight its weak points. For decades, geothermal companies have been drilling into Earth's crust at depths of over 4-5km.</p>

Harnessing geothermal power involves extracting heat from beneath the surface of the Earth. Normally, this means pumping water down through hot rocks and extracting it again. But the [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Converting geothermal heat into electricity by pouring water onto hot rocks underground and using the steam to turn turbines is arguably the most promising - and renewable - source of "green" energy on the planet. So concludes the MIT experts' report, released on Monday, which examines what geothermal energy could do for the US in the 21st century.</p>
