		<description><![CDATA[The word geothermal literally means heat from within the earth. At its simplest, geothermal energy is power extracted from heat within the earth&#8217;s crust. Very deep within the earth is a layer of molten rock known as magma, from which heat is continually produced through the natural decay of uranium, potassium and other radioactive materials.

		<description><![CDATA[Coal mine shafts on the brink of closure in Asturias, Spain, could be transformed into geothermal boilers to provide heating and hot water to towns nearby. Considering the 60 some-odd years of stripping the earth of coal, it’s nice to see researchers planning to use the mines for eco-friendly purposes.

		<description><![CDATA[
East Africa&#8217;s Rift Valley spans six countries, from Mozambique to Djibouti. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) have just completed testing for geothermal capacity in the region. Those tests have produced results far beyond expectations.
Geothermal wells able to generate up to 8 MW have been discovered. The Africa Rift [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is yet another sign of the recent trend toward geothermal power. In what should be a significant development for the geothermal industry, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced that it plans to open up over 190 million acres of federal land to geothermal energy production. The land spreads over 12 western states. 118 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excuse the catchy title&#8230;but I imagine that is not so far from what geothermal insiders are chanting right about now. That’s because geothermal power, long lost in the shadows of wind and solar, is finally poised to come into its own. Though the big mantra has been adopted by big oil, geothermal energy comprises a [...]]]></description>
