Que es la energia geotermica round due to the thermal inertia of the
Geothermal energy is a renewable soil.
energy that uses the heat of the subsoil Deber de hoy to climatize and obtain sanitary hot water in an ecological way. Although it is one of the least known renewable energy 1. An energy that respects the sources, its effects are spectacular to environment One of the main advantages admire in nature. Surely we can all of this energy is its minimal remember images of Mount Etna in Sicily environmental impact. The use of this in full eruption, we have ever tried the energy source not only produces relaxing effects of hot springs or admired practically no waste, but also drastically fumaroles and geysers, such as the reduces the consumption of fossil fuels Timanfaya park in Lanzarote, for and, therefore, CO2 emissions. On the example. What is geothermal energy? other hand, the cost of producing What applications does geothermal electricity is lower than that of coal plants, energy have? It is considered a clean, and even that of nuclear power plants. renewable and highly efficient energy, applicable both in large buildings - hospitals, factories, offices, etc.-, in 2. Minimize energy dependence In homes and even in buildings already parallel, and although it is true that not all built. Sweden was the first European countries have sufficient deposits to country to use geothermal energy, as a avoid dependence on foreign energy, it is consequence of the oil crisis of 1979. In no less true that even in the worst cases other countries such as Finland, the it would help to reduce this dependence, United States, Japan, Germany, Holland with the benefits that this provides for the and France geothermal energy is well environment . For example, a button: it is known and implemented for decades . estimated that the energy stored in a The applications of geothermal energy cubic kilometer of hot rock at 250ºC is depend on the characteristics of each equivalent to 40 million barrels of oil. source. The high temperature geothermal Spain continues to the tail in the use of resources (higher than 100-150ºC) are this energy with little institutional support, used mainly for the production of to the point that in the penultimate electricity. When the reservoir Renewable Energy Plan (PER) 2005- temperature is not sufficient to produce 2010 was not even mentioned. But does electrical energy, its main applications Spain have enough deposits to think of are thermal in the industrial, services and this energy source as an alternative? residential sectors. Thus, in the case of Actually yes, not so much to assemble temperatures below 100 ° C, it can be large power plants as for residential use. used directly or through a geothermal This implies that the deposits are of a heat pump (heating and cooling). Finally, lower temperature - around 80ºC - but, in when it comes to resources of very low their favor, they are located at a lower temperatures (below 25ºC), the depth, which greatly cheapens their possibilities of use are in the climatization exploitation. Madrid, Cuenca, Albacete, and obtaining of hot water. These the whole Douro plateau, Orense, temperature levels are few meters below Pontevedra, Aragón, Catalonia, etc. they our feet: in Spain, 10 meters deep, we are just some of the regions that could have around 17 degrees Celsius all year benefit from it. And ahead of them, of course, Canary Islands that, due to its Hora de luna y de misterio, volcanic origin, can think of power plants. hora de santa bendición, hora en que deja el cautiverio para cantar, el corazón. 3. Perfect energy for residential use And Hora de luna, hora de unción, when we talk about residential use, we hora de luna y de canción. must not only think about generating La luna electricity, but above all, about generating es una heat. To do this, it is enough to have a llaga blanca y divina heat pump and install the heat exchanger en el corazón hondo de la noche. in the subsoil. The reasoning is very ¡Oh luna diamantina, simple: when buried, it enjoys a constant cúbreme! ¡Haz un derroche temperature of between 8 and 10ºC all de lívida blancura year round. Thanks to this, the energy en mi doliente noche! consumption is much less to reach 22 or ¡Llégaste hasta mi cruz, pon un poco de 23ºC in the home, both in summer and albura en mi corazón, llaga divina de locura! winter, while at home you can enjoy hot (...) water at virtually no cost. If we put El viejo campanario numbers, it could be said that for each que tocaba al rosario kilowatt the exchanger only consumes a se ha callado. El santuario quarter, with the rest being renewable se queda solitario. energy. It is true that the initial investment of this type of facilities is still a little high, but its return begins to appear after five years. Primavera mistica lunar El viejo campanario toca para el rosario, Las viejecitas una a una van desfilando hacia el santuario y se diría un milenario coro de brujas, a la luna. Es el último día del mes de María. Mayo en el huerto y en el cielo: el cielo, rosas como estrellas; el huerto, estrellas como rosas ... Hay un perfume de consuelo flotando por todas las cosas. Virgen María, ¿son tus huellas? Hay santa paz y santa calma ... sale a los labios la canción ... El alma dice, sin voz, una oración. Canción de amor, oración mía, pálida flor de poesía.
