what the start up cost for geothermal energy?
463812
first and most expencive part it finding a natural geothurmal vent that is not on BLM land. then the cost of the wellhead. and pipes that will not corode from the elements that are inhearent in natural water.

It will take about $100,000 dollars and up to start. Why not start something cheaper? Start a business on something you know how to dobest.

you don't start to run into geothermal heating of the rock and water until a depth of about 1000 feet.  So at about 50 feet the ground water will probably be around 50-60 degree fahreneheit.

I don't know, but if you find one, let me know so I can move there.  I wish to integrate all of these into my new home but the cost is unbelievable.  The wind turbines will cost 20k and the solar panels around 30k.  I haven't even begun to look into the waste system yet.  Electric companies only buy and sell electricity and service the delivery equipment.  Look at the logo on the sides of their trucks...they are all the same logo, just a different name.  What a wonderful world.  haha

Hot water is taken from hot springs and used to run turbines.  Normal use of coal or petroleum in making electricity involves boiling water and running the steam through a turbine, but in the case of geothermal heating, your water is already boiling.

ask what the cost to buy into this is (the start up cost). ask about the  term of the agreement, ask amout what kind of help they are going to give you to help this business get up and running? Good luck

I pay $380.00 a month for energy, running 2 a/cs all nights. That's $760.00 in two months. Maybe he is just trying to save you such high payments during the summer.\n(50 x 12 = $600)

I can start you at $9.50 an hour.\n\nProve yourself and it goes up.

It depends on so many factors.\n\nYou can start an internet radio station for $20 probably. You may even have the equipment necceesary.\n\nIf you are talking about an actual land based radio-station than you must rent or buy a transmittor. Then hire staff, etcc....\n\nAll in all, depending on how far you want to transmit, it could cost upwards of 1million. Of course that's just a rough number.

The one that I would be most interested in using is geothermal energy. There are some really exciting new applications of geothermal energy for use in heating and cooling homes that essentially involve putting a heat pump deep enough underground that it reaches the soil zone where the temperature is constant year round. This results in having a source of heat in winter and a heat sink for cooling in summer. Every house should have one!!!\n\nSadly the new energy plan proposed by the administration cut geothermal energy research to ZERO.

There is a lot of possibilities starting from the simplest one which is wind generator.  More complicated would be water generation where a usually dam is build and potential energy of the water accumulated behind the dam moves water through turbines and generates power. Some other may include thermal energy of the earth. If you drill deep enough you will get to the earth crust zone where temperature is high to produce steam and this steam is converted (generated) into the electric power. Ocean waves are also source to generate energy.

the earth, in the interior, is very much hot. This heat energy starts to boil the groundwater near it and produces steam.this steam is the geothermal power.

not sure but i know one with low start cost

I don't have a solution for you, but there are tons of people out there that have the same ambitions that you have.  I'd suggest going to www.motherearthnews.com and go to the forums.  Do you want to build?  If so there are tons of kits and do it yourself books out there.  In the forums I have seen off grid (no electricity) cabins on 10 acres for 25 k.  Thats pretty cheap.  If you need something less expensive, the forums are the place to look.

starting is about $30,000\nand overall they make about $40,000

Depends on how much it costs to build it!

That's a hard one. The specs of the site are what define the time and, therefore, the cost. With so many pre-made systems out there ready to go, you could definitely have something up and running with very little effort within a couple of day. The only charge would be the time you spent on doing it.
