The risks of geothermal energy

The geothermal energy is a stable and clean energy form, which can be used in the many small and large scale systems. The problem in that kind of energy source is that if the system would use the groundwater the level of the water storages inside the hemisphere would decrease, and that thing can cause the artificial earthquakes because the lithosphere is falling.

That's why we cannot use the artificial geysers to that thing, and in fact, the geothermal power plants should use the closed cycle, which means that the water circles in the closed system, and when it goes through the heat exchanger, the system would create pressure for rotating the turbogenerators. In fact, the water is very usually used the thing in the geothermal power plants, because it's not poisonous.

But if that system might use some other medium like ammonia, would the pressure rise higher in those systems, but the ammonia has a problem that it's not so safe than water. The reason, why ammonia would be more effective material in the circle than water is that it would expand many times greater space than water. But ammonia can explode and it's poisonous, which makes it less addictive than the use of water in those cycles, where the medium is heated by using geothermal energy, and it would go through the generator.

What if we would cover the entire moon by using a solar panel?

There is some "what if" videos on the net, where is asked what if we would cover moon by using solar panels. The idea is very good, and the time, what this project would take is about two generations. The energy would transfer to the Earth by using radio- or microwaves. That energy would transfer to a certain spot by using maser, which makes possible to point the energy ray in a certain place, where it would conduct to the electric network.

The problem is that the transmitter would use extreme high-power energy level. If the high power microwave would point in the wrong location that could cause a tsunami if it hits to the water area. And the energy would cause the extremely high-speed rise of the temperature, and that would cause a similar effect with nuclear weapons. Or in other worst cases, the entire city can be erased in the seconds.

The natural version of "Death Star"

There is one of the greatest threats in that kind of systems, and it is that the power transmitting would target to the nucleus of the planet, it would cause the explosion in the middle of the planet, what can cause the situation, that our home planet would turn to asteroid cloud. And those kinds of things are very bad things.

If that kind of system would build someday, there is one great threat, and that would transform into the tool of power. That kind of system could allow controlling the power supply in the entire planet. When the transmitting of the energy would hit to the electric wires that would cause the overvoltage in the power supply, what makes that kind of systems very effective EMP-weapons.

And there would be an addiction to use this natural energy satellite as the battle station. The thing, what would make that thing very addictive is that those persons, who would work in that station will be addicted to the food supply. The high power maser-radiation would burn every target on the ground, and that means that this kind of system might be very devastating.

Dematerialization and the changing the climate

Dematerialization and the changing the climate

When we are talking about the dematerialization as the solution for environmental problems, we must start to think that way, that every time, when we are traveling by using private automobiles, we are creating the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is the prime actor in the global warming process, and if we want to slow or stop that process, we must stop the production of carbon dioxide.

And one way to make that thing is to start to use Internet connections for traveling to work and back home. The dematerialization of the traveling would mean to benefit virtual conferences and other things for limiting traveling, where is used the transporter. This kind of things that we should transform our physical traveling to virtual reality is a little bit absurd thing, and maybe we would travel between home and workplace by using trains or some other commute transport.

The carbon footprint is the thing, what is the reason for the global temperature rise, and this is the thing, what we all know. How we can decrease the production of carbon? One of the best ideas is to transform to use the hydrogen as the fuel, as I have written many times before. The problem with the climate changing is that we all know about the medicine for that problem.

And the solution is to decrease carbon production in a very fast period. But then we are facing the thing, that we don't know how to decrease the production of the carbon production without willing to change the fuel, what we are using in the power plants and automobiles. But there are some reasons, why we cannot make that change in energy production. The thing is that we want to use hydrocarbons, what is releasing the carbon to the atmosphere. We want to use hydrocarbon because we are always done that, and there would be no alternative for that fuel.

When we are thinking about the clean solutions for energy production, the only possible way to make clean energy is not a wind turbine. The geothermal energy is more stable than the windmill, and the capillary turbine, where the air travels in a vertical way through turbines, would also offer the clean and stable way to create energy by using the wind. The thing is that every way to create clean energy is correct if they are used in the right places.

If the solar power plant would be over the cloud layer, that means the stable sunlight in every day of the year. And if the difference between the highest and lowest tidal is high enough, that would give a very good and stable way to create clean energy. But those ways would not work in the areas, where half of the year is cloudy weather, or the tidal wave is only a couple of centimeters.

When we are talking about wind energy, we must choose the place, where are enough windy days, that those windmills can create energy. Geothermal energy is the easiest to use in volcanic areas. But for creating the pressure for the tube, what conducts the steam or heat water to the turbines is needed to create the hole on the ground by using laser drill, and that hole works as the artificial geyser, what is used for boiling the water.

Also, the normal offshore oil rigs can produce hydrogen by using the turbogenerator, what would break the water molecules by using electrolysis, and this kind of thing can use the same tubes, what the natural gas uses. The production of hydrogen in this way is actually quite a clean process. The thing is that using the oil tube for giving capillary suck to the water, what would conduct through the turbine wheel, what will rotate the generator, which gives power for the electrolyzing process.

But this kind of solution might feel a little bit too radical when we are compiling it with the fusion reactor, where is needed even billions of degrees of Celsius for creating the self-maintaining fusion. Of course, that kind of things is very nice to write in the articles of scientific and popular scientific magazines. Those numbers and technologies are really fascinating, and the records of temperature are interesting to read. And maybe that technology is ready to commercial use after 100 years.
