The first human usage of geothermal resources in North America happened more than 10,000 years ago,

with the settlement of Paleo-Indians around hot springs, according to archeological data. Warmth and
cleanliness were provided by the springs, while healing was provided by their minerals.

With climate change being a direct threat to the population of the Philippines, think hurricanes etc,
particularly the densely populated Manila capital area of the country could be hit the hardest. So with
that luring high risk of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes, there have been a
number of organisations and experts who are preaching powering a greener future through cleaner
sources of energy. As the effects of climate change are clearly visible around the world, including the
Philippines, a cleaner source of power is very much coveted. Another energy source that has the
potential to make a difference in the Philippines is geothermal. Southeast Asia is home to 25 percent of
the world’s geothermal generation capacity. Most, if not all of this geothermal capacity is located in the
Philippines and Indonesia. Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy produced by heat from the
earth. It is considerably safer than most other energy sources. Unlike fossil fuel plants, geothermal
power does not produce greenhouse gases (GHG) that are harmful to the environment.
