Swedish technology could make geothermal as mainstream as wind and solar
Geothermal power is the best of both worlds. It is flexible, like coal power, providing energy whenever needed. And it’s green, like wind and solar power, producing almost no emissions. Current technology, however, limits its applications. Large geothermal power plants depend on accessing to very hot water, which can only be recovered in small regions around the planet. That’s why places with volcanoes, like Iceland and Indonesia, are able to use large amounts of geothermal energy, but others like France or the UK aren’t.
