All About Geothermal Energy

Last October 12, 2011, Mr. John "JT" Traller came to visit our school to discuss and inform us more about geothermal energy. He is one of the workers of the Calpine Company, a company who distributes geothermal energy.

Geothermal energy is the heat energy in the Earth. 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 it. The heat is called geothermal energy.

He also discussed the processes on how their company gets the energy, the types of machinery they use and a lot of other things. He also shared some inspirational messages to us, on how are we going to achieve our goals in life.
