The energy needs of Saint Kitts and Nevis currently measure at 10 megawatts. But the nation recently discovered that it sits on top several large geothermal reservoirs -- enough to produce approximately 50 megawatts of clean energy, around 40 megawatts more than the nation has a need for. The excess energy can be exported, providing an economic boost for Saint Kitts and Nevis, and it will make the nation virtually carbon neutral (meaning that it balances fossil fuel usage with renewable energy).
We've written a lot about how geothermal energy is helping homeowners bring down their utility bills, but how can geothermal energy help the world on a larger scale? Take a look at the two island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, located in the Carribbean.Geothermal will help Saint Kitts and Nevis reduce its dependence on fossil fuels over time. Geothermal energy can help your home do this on a smaller scale, too, as less traditional energy is needed when geothermal energy is used to pre-heat or pre-cool your home. As geothermal becomes more popular, we'll undoubtedly discover more uses for this natural source of energy.
