It's a great start, and with the keen support of the Government, eventually geothermal energy could improve the lives of many people in Kneya. <br /><br />Geothermal power plants here in the Philippines have been providing electricity for years. While there some new geothermal plants, such as the <a href="http://geothermalenergy.hostzi.com/" rel="nofollow">Bulusan geothermal plant</a> , geothermal energy development is also still in process. <br />Very Informative Read, Thanks! Keep up the good work.

I'll be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Glad to have a chance to drop by and learn additional information about this particular topic from your blog. <br />In addition to that, I have read an article stating that in 1892, America's first district heating system in Boise, Idaho was powered directly by geothermal energy, and was copied in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 1900. A deep geothermal well was used to heat greenhouses in Boise in 1926, and geysers were used to heat greenhouses in Iceland and Tuscany at about the same time.[10] Charlie Lieb developed the first downhole heat exchanger in 1930 to heat his house. Steam and hot water from geysers began heating homes in Iceland starting in 1943. <br />Generally pays for itself in 5-6 years. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.comacpumpandwell.com/geothermalsystems.html" rel="nofollow">Geothermal New Hampshire</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14153776053756305209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373035403417781935.post-35975031947008819122012-08-09T15:36:58.299+03:002012-08-09T15:36:58.299+03:00Geothermal power in Africa?

It was along way before development of energy industry in African countries, besides mining traditional fuel. I'm glad for Kenya, I believe this project of <a href="http://patentsbase.com/items/US-6301894-B1-Geothermal-power-generator" rel="nofollow">geothermal power generators</a>' implementation really should work.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100355255727495795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373035403417781935.post-27191498512585547552012-08-08T14:00:52.025+03:002012-08-08T14:00:52.025+03:00Bene,

Am not sure of the exact demand/generation of its total factories as it has several in S. Korea and around the world but it could be true considering the amount of energy it wanted to save by 2008 was almost equivalent to the average annual output of the Kenyan refinery in terms of oil equivalent.<br /><br />South Korea has Nuclear and thermal (i.e. coal, oil and gas). This fuels cannot be ignored as they produce base load electricity though very dirty to the environment.<br /><br />S. Koreas generation capacity is now over 210,000MW compare to Kenya's 1500MW. Vision 2030 target is 15,000MW<br /><br />S. Korea's energy mix is as follows:<br /><br />62.4% of South Korea's energy comes from thermal power sources (32 coal, oil and gas-powered generating plants),<br /> <br />36.7% comes from nuclear power, and <br /><br />0.8% comes from hydropower (22 mini- or micro-hydro plants). <br />Renewables – mainly biomass from household waste , at just 0.1%Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455010163972859972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373035403417781935.post-39855729532426055112012-07-27T14:35:40.402+03:002012-07-27T14:35:40.402+03:00Hello,

How do they do this and I don't hear them mentioned with Nuclear power generation? Is it one source or a diverse energy mix? Could you illuminate on this?Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475130859351421913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373035403417781935.post-54674940983302966092012-07-24T16:00:38.374+03:002012-07-24T16:00:38.374+03:00Considering we have other Geothermal projects by O...Considering we have other Geothermal projects by Orpower and Kengen under development and the transmission line from Ethiopia soon to be constructed.
