The U.S. Office of Fossil Energy has announced the first successful generation of electricity using geothermal technology from a producing oil well.
This is a smart and ingenious way to create energy. Geothermal has the potential to create massive amounts of power.

The plant will become the sole power source for the school in a few years, making Oregon Tech the only university to be powered completely by geothermal energy.
This is for both heat and energy.

Iceland heats 90% of their homes with geothermal energy. 80% of their power comes from hydro with the remainder from geothermal. It’s so cheap that they heat sidewalks in winter with it. While geothermal isn’t completely renewable, it is certainly mostly so, which makes Iceland probably unique in that virtually all its power and heating is from renewable, clean resources. And it’s cheap!

While all the geothermal power plants in the US produce less than 1% of total power, the southwest has the potential to produce over 20%. The Geysers in northern California is the largest geothermal plant in the world, producing more than 750 MW.
