3. Geothermal Energy Promotes National Security Geothermal energy is a domestic energy resource that does not require carbon-intensive fuel to operate. Geothermal power can displace use of fossil fuels, thereby reducing our reliance on foreign fuel markets. Also, as electricity becomes a larger part of our transportation system it can directly displace imported oil. Direct use of geothermal heat for certain commercial, industrial and agricultural uses, provides an alternative to other sources of thermal energy including electricity, natural gas, propane, or oil. By increasing the availability of indigenous fuels in the U.S., geothermal can improve our ability to control our economic future and improve our national security, while conserving our available oil and natural gas resources for high value uses, such as liquid fuels for transportation, chemical feedstock and pharmaceuticals. 4. Geothermal is Environmentally Friendly Geothermal power plants involve no combustion, unlike fossil fuels plants, so they emit very low levels of greenhouse gases. Binary geothermal plants, which currently represent around 20% of all geothermal plant capacity in the U.S., along with flash/binary plants, produce nearly zero air emissions. Even dry steam plants are considered environmentally benign compared with fossil fuels. According to the Nevada Geothermal Council, the state’s 300 MW of geothermal power alone save 4.5 million barrels of oil (the equivalent fuel used by 100,000 cars) and avoid emissions of 2.25 million tons of CO2 annually. Geothermal heat pumps, which are used to heat and cool buildings, are also considered to be one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems available – because of their very low electricity demand, their use greatly reduces emissions resulting from power generation. Additionally, geothermal energy has a very small land-use footprint – among the smallest, per kilowatt of ANY power generation technology, including coal, nuclear, and other renewables.
