A GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT

One of 21 plants in the Geysers field producing electricity from underground steam. They say it is "clean power." The steam seen in this photo is from cooling towers. After the steam turns the turbines, it is cooled into water-form and piped back ~2 miles down into the ground where it can be reboiled by the heat of the magma.
