One of the so-called renewable energies is geothermal energy. A new geothermal power plant was built in Basel, Switzerland, in 2006. A few weeks after the first water injections a series of earthquakes occurred in the region, which seems to be connected with the pressing of water into the ground.}, keywords = {Geothermal Power Plants,Earthquake Risks,Basel,Energy Supply}, url = {http://www.jsee.ir/article_240568.html}, eprint = {http://www.jsee.ir/article_240568_173dc132ba606c28da691a239963b4b2.pdf} }
