This is produced by heat derived from within the Earth via water or steam. Iceland began using geothermal energy to heat greenhouses in 1924, according to the Iceland National Energy Authority ...
Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia. Geothermal heating, using water from hot springs, for example, has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since Roman times. Geothermal power (generation of electricity from geothermal energy), has been used since the 20th ...
