- Geothermal energy is one of the most renewable forms of energy available today.
- Geothermal power plants use hot water from deep within the Earth's crust to create steam which turns turbines that produce electricity.
- Geothermally heated water is also used to provide space heating for buildings.
- Geothermal electric power generation is considered to be environmentally friendly because it does not emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
- Geothermal resources are widely distributed throughout the world.
- Geothermal electricity production has been growing rapidly since the early 1980s.
- Geothermal is a clean source of energy that produces no air pollution and emits no carbon dioxide.
- Geothermal uses existing underground reservoirs of water that are already being tapped by other means.
