Selected List of Internet Addresses: Renewable Energy Information by Resource

 

The list of addresses that follow are current as of Summer 1998. This list is abbreviated due to the great increase in internet sites as well as the growing presence of links to associated web sites over the past few years. Therefore, this list should provide at least a useful start in a search for renewable energy information.

Geothermal Theory: Geothermal Use Today
Summary: Geothermal power plants now provide more than 2,500 megawatts of clean electricity to the United States, equivalent to three large nuclear power plants. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, geothermal has the potential to provide the United States with 12,000 megawatts of electricity by the year 2010. http://www.crest.org/renewables/re-kiosk/geothermal/theory/usetoday.shtml

Geothermal Theory, Geothermal Reservoirs: Fractured Rock (2)
Summary: In most high-temperature reservoirs, much of the porosity and permeability exist in natural rock fractures, although they may be artificially induced. In other reservoirs, the space between sand grains in the rock provides ample porosity and permeability.
