    Abstract: A geothermal cooling system comprises an open-air structure and a closed, geothermal loop configured to cool an environment in which the open-air structure is located. The loop comprises a below-ground tubing field comprising one or more tubing loops, at least one above-ground bank of tubing coupled to the open-air structure, at least one fluid supply line fluidically coupling the below-ground tubing field and the above-ground bank of tubing, and at least one fluid return line fluidically coupling the below-ground tubing field and the above-ground bank of tubing. The loop comprises at least one pump operably coupled to the supply line and configured to apply a pressure differential sufficient to draw fluid from the below-ground tubing field through the supply line and into the above-ground bank of tubing arranged to circulate the fluid via gravity through the above-ground bank of tubing and return the fluid to the below-ground tubing field.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to generating electricity by pumping fluid into a thermoelectric conduit that extends into a geothermal reservoir. A method includes pumping fluid into at least one thermoelectric conduit that extends into the geothermal reservoir. The method further includes generating electricity with the thermoelectric conduit due to a temperature differential between the fluid and the geothermal reservoir.
