It is not that jet engines perform better at higher altitude, but rather they are more fuel efficient. Performance is far greater at lower altitudes. Just think about when you are taking off and the airplane accelerates quickly and pitches way up. There's lots of extra thrust down low to allow that. The fuel/air ratio remains somewhat constant through the climb. As altitude increases, the air thin outs and therefore, so can the fuel flow. Airlines try for the most efficient routes and altitudes as possible to save money. They do however change altitudes in flight (higher or lower) when needed for weather and turbulence avoidance. --- And a note about the jet stream, it is relatively narrow and always curving, so the time an airliner would spend there is very short. And another thing, it flows mostly west to east isn't the U.S. so a westbound flight would be at a disadvantage. Airlines still fly high whether traveling East or West.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
