... and hot water either rise to the surface naturally or are pumped up. This heat is then used in order to turn turbans and create electricity. There are three main types of power plants that perform these operations. The first are dry steam plants, which directly use geothermal steam to turn turbines. The second, flash steam plants pull deep, high-pressure ... main advantage is that electricity is produced in an efficient, ecologically completely safe way. There are no fossil flues of any kind burned in this process, and therefore would reduce pollution by 100%. The pollution from fossil ...
