We can reduce carbon dioxide from coal burning power-plants by harnessing more of the Earth's geothermal energy.

Interesting article by the Sierra Club.

Clean Power Comes on Strong: Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is right under our feet. The Earth's core is like

an inner sun, heating the Earth's surface and warming the water and

rocks beneath. This steaming water and rock can be used to generate

heat and electricity. The uppermost six miles of the Earth's crust

alone contains more energy than all the oil and gas reserves in the

world.

Geothermal resources are abundant, affordable, and available 24 hours

a day, 365 days a year. Currently, geothermal energy provides enough

electricity to power nearly 4 million American homes. Using existing

technology, geothermal power plants run more efficiently and reliably

than do coal and nuclear facilities.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that geothermal power plants

prevent some 22 million tons of carbon dioxide from escaping into the

atmosphere every year, helping curb global warming by reducing

pollution from our nation's biggest culprits, coal-fired power plants.
