India Explores Geothermal Energy from Abandoned Oil Wells

India Explores Geothermal Energy from Abandoned Oil Wells

Imagine the government wants to get energy from the heat inside the Earth, called geothermal energy.

They're planning to use old, empty oil wells to do this!

Right now, they're trying it out in a place called Bikaner, India.

They're working with some smart scientists to see if it works well enough to use everywhere.

Geothermal energy is great because it can make electricity all the time, unlike the sun which is only available during daytime.

India has a lot of potential for this kind of energy, and could become a big user of it, using it alongside solar power.

This could mean a more steady and environmentally friendly way to create electricity.
