Geothermal Energy: Dominica's Path to Becoming a Clean Powerhouse | The Lid Is On | United Nations

There is widespread consensus that the world needs to move away from dirty fuel sources which cause pollution and pump out gases that are contributing to the climate crisis.

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are not just used to generate electricity, but they bring in revenue for countries that have big reserves. Keeping them in the ground means that States have to find other ways to develop your economy.

The small island developing State of Dominica may have found a solution underground: studies have shown that the country could cover all of its electricity needs, and even sell electricity abroad, by developing geothermal energy. It would be 100 per cent clean, cheap and practically limitless.

Conor Lennon from UN News meets Vince Henderson, Dominica’s Minister for Economic Development and Sustainable Energy, and Fred John, CEO of the Dominica Geothermal Development Company to find out if the country really is on its way to a clean energy future.

Guys we are blessed beyond measure god has given us extra so we can share with our neighbors yes we are first in the whole Caribbean to actually have a full operational geothermal plant that transform the heat and steam from the earth in the valley of desolation into real time electri city which means we wont need to spend all our money on diesel no more, fire bun dat, so our light bills will be cheaper praise the lord, and we can also sell power to the other countries imagine how much money dominica will make so there is a victory for us and the government led by the PM Skeritt who always wanted to deliver on this project which no other govern ment in the past or future can ever achieve so be patient soon we will have our geothermal power plant plus a brand new electric power station at fond cole dominica is being developed big time by the DLP administration.

This could be life changing for 🇩🇲Positive News from the Nature Island.
Unlike wind and solar energy, geothermal plants produce power at a constant rate, without regard to weather conditions. Geothermal resources are theoretically more than adequate to supply humanity's energy needs.

Why does the UN oppose peer review among climate scientists?
