Mud volcanoes erupt from time to time and this has been considered to be one of the sources for obtaining geothermal energy. In the pictures, you will also see a geothermal plant where heat of up to 300 degrees is used from the earth. The pictures of the mud volcanoes in action are quite interesting and show how the gases escape from within the mud packed earth. A lot of different gases are released from these mud volcanoes.

A lot of carbon di oxide gets liberated from these mud volcanoes. Some experts say that the West Coast is under a threat of being destroyed by a 6.7 earthquake in the next thirty years. One of the pictures also shows the alternate energy options like windmills. All these need to be thought of and implemented to save the planet from energy crisis in the future.
