Geothermal energy exists in volcanoes, geysers and hot springs, and can be tapped by sinking wells roughly 2,000 ft. into the reservoirs of superheated water and steam that are sandwiched between layers of rock close to the earth's molten lava. Steam rises to the surface, where it can be used to power turbines that generate electricity, and is then allowed to flow back underground for natural reheating...

Old courthouses, railroad stations, firehouses, police stations, armories, ice houses, hotels, office buildings, factories, warehouses, schools and department stores have found a lively...
