A lesson learned from a foreign visit

              Calpine Corporation's "THE GEYSERS" Geothermal Field is what Mr. John Traller introduced to us last October 12,2011. Before he started, he first gave us an article to read about geothermal energy.Then, he asked us if what is geothermal energy,but it seems that no one wanted to answer,so he answered his own question he said that it's the heat energy in the earth. As I  read the article given it states there that inside the earth,magma (hot molten rock) is continuously being formed. It can rise near the surface. As the magma slowly cools,its heat is transferred to the rocks around. The heat is called geothermal energy. Geothermal energy can help countries become more energy independent . In many countries, they could get all of their electricity and heating from geothermal energy.
            Meanwhile,he asked if do w have any questions, so we asked if the power plants of geothermal steam doesn't affect our environment. Then,he answered that ti doesn't affect the environment and he also explained to us the benefits of geothermal energy.
        
          Geothermal Energy offers some important advantages:

*It helps keep our air clean
      That's because geothermal power plants do not burn fossil fuels to make electricity .
*It's Renewable
     The supply of heat in the earth is enormous and is continuously regenerated.
*It's Sustainable 
     When carefully managed,a  geothermal reservoir can be used indefinitely.
*It's Secure and Reliable
         A geothermal power plant can run day and night, year in and year out. It sits on top of its fuel source and does not rely on imported fuels.
*It Conserve Fossil Fuels
      The use of geothermal energy saves millions of barrels of oil each year! This means that:
            -We can be more energy independent and fossil fuels can be saved for other purposes and for use by generations.


       So, those are some of the important advantages that geothermal energy offers. As the discussion was going to end,we still remain silent,though sometimes we don't if what he talks about because he speaks too fast,but still we learned a lot of things about geothermal energy. I am so thankful that a non-filipino citizen voluntarily visited is here in our school to share his knowledge. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. JOHN TRALLER. :)
