Geothermal Myths Explained In common parlance, a myth is a fiction -- something which is untrue. An invented truth takes on the proportion of being a myth when it is repeated often enough to take on a life of its own, to appear to have meaning in its own right. Today, geothermal developers face many obstacles, and one of them is inadequate public understanding of geology, hydrology, and the related sciences that underlie geothermal energy. A recent publication for the National Geothermal Collaborative4 found that widespread misconceptions about geothermal energy posed major barriers to its use. We have, therefore, tried to address some the most common myths about geothermal energy in text boxes throughout this document. Geothermal energy is defined as heat from the Earth. It is a clean, renewable resource that provides energy in the United States and around the world. It is considered a renewable energy resource because the heat emanating from the interior of the Earth is essentially limitless. The heat continuously flowing from the Earthís interior is estimated to be equivalent to 42 million megawatts of power.5 One megawatt is equivalent to 1 million watts, and can meet the power needs of about 1,000 homes. The interior of the Earth is expected to remain extremely hot for billions of year to come, ensuring an essentially limitless flow of heat. Geothermal power plants capture this heat and convert it to energy in the form of electricity. The picture below shows the source of geothermal electric power production, heat from the Earth. As depth into the Earthís crust increases, temperature increases as well. 4 McClenahan, Laurie, et al (Jan 2005). Geothermal Outreach Principles and Comment Analysis Report.
