Gains in Geothermal Power Generation and Llamas

Geothermal energy deep underground is available almost everywhere on our planet. With financial support from climate-conscious tech companies, clever engineers are rapidly developing enhanced geothermal power projects that can access this resource. A recent trip to Yellowstone National Park with llama support provided the inspiration for me to learn more about this subject.

Geysers in the Americas

Geysers, with hot water and steam welling up from deep underground, are mysterious clues to what lies beneath. Yellowstone National Park includes about half of all geysers found on Earth. The Andes Mountains contain a major geyser field, named El Tatio, in northern Chile......I recently dug around for more information about geysers – and I found some that was new news to me and, I think, quite interesting.

Yellowstone’s Dynamic Geologic History

The dramatic landscape of Yellowstone National Park, including exploding geysers, bubbling mud volcanoes, and rainbow-colored lakes, all provide hints of the dynamic geologic history of the region. Yellowstone is one of the Earth’s largest volcanic systems, and earthquakes, ground surface movements, and hydrothermal activity in the region are all indications of this volcanism.
