Harvesting Earth's Natural Heat and Cold Sources

[MeMing]

I've been thinking about this for years and since people on this thread seemed quite informed in sciences, I'd just like to ask if it would be possible (or if it has been done already or is ongoing) to harvest the natural heat coming from our planet's deserts and bring them to naturally heat cold countries. The same thing for the natural Cold on the north and south poles being harvested to cool tropical countries naturally.

If you know of a project like this or any inputs would be very much appreciated.

I believe we have been harnessing those energies sources, hydropower from moving water currents, geothermal power from the Earth's hot magna, and also solar power. hehe! But the problem is efficiency. That is the main question, if you we can have 100% efficiency then we already have sufficient power. hehe! But regarding transferring heat to cooler countries and vice versa, its not that its impossible but it would probably cost most energy than the heat energy you are trying to divert. If we even do it, it will have profound effects on our planet's atmospheric cycle and climate. Who knows, what damage it could cost. hehehe! That is why we Filipinos love the heat and Russians love the cold! hahaha!

murag di mana pwede cguro, kay kung mogamit silag tube nga econnect padulong sa tugnaw nga lugar (pila ka miles ang distance), aw magrequire nag, as what fritz said, great amount of energy to suck/pull the heats of desert. maypag maggamit nalang og heater ang nasa bugnaw nga lugar kay minus pag energy consumption unlike mogamit og tubings from countries 2 countries.

kay di man pud pwede nga suyupun ang kainit unya ibutang sa container then export padulong sa cold countries then dd2 erelease, kay naa man tay gitawag nga heat transfer. so kung naay heat sa container ang heat mo trasnfer sa container, as a result ang heat nga giipon mawad-an nag kainit gamay by time.... unya kalas pud og energy sa pangtransport, sa pagslowly release sa heat, og ang pila ka materials nga gamiton sa sa containers... maypag mag heater nalang... ^_^

But the weather has been doing that ever since. We're at the ITCZ zone, where the cold air and the warm air intersect in our globe.

actually deserts are very cold at night.

The same thing for the natural Cold on the north and south poles being harvested to cool tropical countries naturally.

It is already happening.
Rising earth temperature is melting the ice caps.

[MeMing]

and the ice caps themselves are migrating to warmer parts of the planet...

pero ang question nako, naa naba gyud nagkwenta sa cost over benefit ani nga project or plainly illogical lang gyud ni buhaton maski mata2hon lang?

[grovestreet]

yup, there's geothermal and solar.

[cromagnon]

how about nuclear energy , its powerful .

bitaw, mas mau pa gyud magheater lang or aircon.. hehehe!
