How Geothermal turns up the heat -- cleanly

By Carey Callaghan

Of all of the renewable energy sources, geothermal is unique for not being an indirect form of solar power. Wind, wave, tidal, and even hydro are indirectly powered by the sun. Geothermal power, by contrast, comes from the latent thermal energy from the earth’s formation, combined with heat released from the decay of radioactive isotopes in the earth’s crust.

Ever want to journey to the center of the earth? Maybe not – the temperature at the earth’s core is estimated to be at 7,000 degrees Celsius! Harnessing geothermal energy is all about getting a fraction of that energy to the earth’s surface, where it can be tapped as steam or hot water. ...

Investments in mutual funds are: Not Insured/Not Guaranteed by any financial institution and are subject to market risk. Alternative energy stocks might experience weak demand if the price of oil, gas, or electricity declines sharply for a period. Concentrating the Fund's assets on related industries or sectors may have greater risks because companies in these sectors may share common characteristics and may react similarly to market developments. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve political, economic, and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. The Fund will also invest in smaller companies, which involve risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund may make limited use of the following: options on securities, futures contracts, and synthetic securities which may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities; purchasing and writing put and call options which are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks (investment in options and futures are not suitable for all investors); short sales of securities which involve the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested.
