[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Geoforce (I Don’t Care) by Erika Cruz
Hey people!
It’s about time and our time’s up
I have to do this for the earth you know.
Sometimes we gotta act out cuz’ we care
That the only way we’ll learn
Gee-ooooh-oh-oh-force (2x)
It’s the cleanest form of energy
The best among them all
The least pollution being released
There’d be no chemicals,
no wastes, no damage to our race
But even if it costs a lot ooh-oh-oh
CHORUS:
I don’t care
It don’t matter
Whether it will cost me big or not
‘Cause in the end
it benefits our country
and the whole human race
‘Cause I don’t care eh-eh-eh-eh-are
If I will make a big investment
‘Cause in the e-eh-eh-eh-eh-end
It will benefit you and me
Geo-ooh-oh-oh-force (2x)

GEOTHERMAL comes from the words geo (earth) and therme (heat). Therefore, GEOTHERMAL ENERGY is heat from within the Earth. We can recover this steam or hot water and use it to heat buildings or generate electricity.


Geothermal Energy FactsGeothermal Energy:
· The word Geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (earth) and therme (heat). So, geothermal energy is heat from within the Earth. We can recover this heat as steam or hot water and use it to heat buildings or generate electricity.
· Originates from the radioactive decay of the planet, it also comes from the solar energy accumulated at the earth’s surface.
· Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, but has historically been limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries.
· Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because the heat is continuously produced inside the Earth.
· Geothermal energy is generated in the Earth’s core. Temperatures hotter than the sun’s surface are continuously produced inside the Earth by the slow decay of radioactive particles, a process that happens in all rocks.
· The most active geothermal resources are usually found along major plate boundaries where earthquakes and volcanoes are concentrated. Most of the geothermal activity in the world occurs in an area called the Ring of Fire. This area encircles the Pacific Ocean.
· Used in district heating, space heating, spas, industrial processes, desalination and agricultural applications.
· Geothermal wells release greenhouse gases trapped deep within the earth, but these emissions are much lower per energy unit than those of fossil fuels. As a result, geothermal power has the potential to help mitigate global warming if widely deployed in place of fossil fuels.
