Location Cloverdale • California is one of four states with a geothermal power plant • It is close to LA but still a lovely location
Geothermal Plant It is the process of getting heat out of the earth and using half for heat, and half is made into steam to generate electricity.

They release less than 1 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions of a fossil fuel plant. Geothermal plants use scrubber systems to clean the air of hydrogen sulfide that is naturally found in the steam and hot water. Geothermal plants emit 97 percent less acid rain - causing sulfur compounds than are emitted by fossil fuel plants. After the steam and water from a geothermal reservoir have been used, they are injected back into the earth.”
