Solar? Only good during the daytime. Wind?! What about the BIRDS!? How about a renewable energy source deep beneath our feet, Geothermal Power! Tongue-in-cheek dissing on other power sources aside, geothermal is a kind of renewable energy that hasn't been discussed in the public eye as much as solar and wind, even though it has successfully been powering homes in the US and abroad for decades. Can this power source be deployed in areas outside of geothermal hot spots? How does it make electricity from ground-hotness? Find out in this episode!
