Vox - Batteries are dirty. Geothermal power can help, 01112022

Lithium-ion batteries are a transformative technology in the fight against climate change. Most notably, they power electric vehicles, which have the potential to replace emissions produced by road transportation. But there’s a problem. These batteries require nickel. And in Indonesia, where the majority of nickel is produced, the production process emits large amounts of carbon and pollution However geothermal energy could help fix the this problem

Undecided - Geothermal Energy Explained - A Not So Hot Solution, 09022021

What if I told you there was an "always-on", carbon free, renewable power source deep beneath the earth's surface. Why haven't we been using this power source, literally available under our feet, as much as possible? This video look at the explanation behind Geothermal energy and it's challenges ... one of which is a little ... ground-breaking

DW Plant A - Geothermal energy is renewable and powerful. Why is most of it untapped?

Geothermal = Heat from the Earth The potential of geothermal energy seems enormous. If estimates are correct, then the heat under our feet amounts to 50,000 times more power than all the oil and gas resources in the world. So why isn't everybody using this renewable energy?
