La Grande geothermal power plant
La Grande geothermal power plant in Oregon harnesses the Earth's natural heat to generate electricity. It drills deep underground to tap into hot rock formations containing trapped steam and hot water. This geothermal fluid is brought to the surface and used to spin turbines, which produce electricity. The process is sustainable because the Earth's heat is vast and renewable. La Grande's plant provides a reliable and environmentally friendly energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, while contributing to the region's power supply.
