000 TIMES MORE ABUNDANT THAN THE ENTIRE KNOWN SUPPLY OF FOSSIL FUEL...

50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as with

solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime

example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity, where

over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy

are just two of a number of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources.

The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on a global

scale.
