Core Energy.

Overlooked for centuries as a viable source of natural energy, a recent MIT study offers the potential of geothermal energy to be, "a key energy provider in the United States". Geothermal energy involves the trapping of heat and steam released by fissures in the plant's crust to drive turbines and create energy. The study agrees that although there are great benefits to the use of geothermal energy (including minute atmospheric and environmental impact) there are also seismic and geophysical risks that have not been fullly assessed.

Many groups, such as The Geothermal Resources Council, have touted the wide-spread use of geothermal energy in the past but to little fortune. Perhaps this MIT study will get the direct attention of those groups looking for ways to stem the growing problem of greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. Thanks, Earth.
