Researchers Determined to Discover Amount of Energy Sources Within Earth by 2025

The Earth requires fuel to drive its magnetic field, plate tectonics, and volcanoes. Just like a hybrid car relies on two energy sources, the Earth taps two sources of energy to operate its engine – nuclear energy from the heat generated during natural radioactive decay, and primordial energy from assembling the planet.
