By Keith Breene: “If you think of geothermal power having a national home, it is probably the frozen expanse of Iceland or perhaps the volcanic springs of New Zealand. Both countries, on opposite sides of the world, owe their famously prolific geological activity to their position on shifting tectonic plates.
In fact, the region emerging as the world's leading geothermal power is thousands of miles away from both of these countries, in the verdant hills of East Africa.
This article is about Kenya's use of geothermal power to generate electricity. The author highlights the success of this renewable energy source, and how the country has become a leader in using natural resources to bring electricity to its citizens. The article cites the two countries which have been traditionally associated with geothermal energy sources - Iceland and New Zealand - to emphasize how far from typical places this activity is occurring. The tone of the article is positive and presents Kenya as an example for other countries in terms of its renewable energy use.
