"The results show the sprawling expanse of U.S. potential for #geothermal, which taps heat from deep within the earth for clean, on-demand energy. That potential is especially red-hot in the western U.S., with striking hot spots also seen across the colder, older regions of the East.
Some "decommissioned #CoalPlants — sites that still sit in the center of webs of power lines could onboard future clean power onto the grid while avoiding the roadblocks around permitting new transmission corridors.
The Geomap researchers found that many of the West’s sites — #greenhouses, #meatpacking facilities, chemical plants and #DataCenters — sit atop heat that could be tapped directly, without needing to generate electricity, which is a cheaper proposition."
I took this photo in one of the greenhouses at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, in the west end of the city. One of my favourite spots in Glasgow. #Glasgow#BotanicGardens#plants#Greenhouses
