Heat for a Nation

So how do you heat a volcanic island?
With geothermal heat of course. Iceland is one of the greenest energy efficient countries in the world.
Hot water from under ground is cooled with water found closer to the earth's surface and steam turns turbines creating clean energy.
The power plant is a brilliant blend of phyics and chemistry. The circular object in the top image is a section of  pipe used to bring energy to the city.
