Prime sites are very location-specific

Prime sites are often far from population centers

Losses due to long distance transmission of electricity

Water usage

High construction costs

Drilling into heated rock is very difficult

# data[].attributes.body
Almost entirely emission free

Zero carbon

No fuel required (no mining or transportation)

Not subject to the same fluctuations as solar or wind

Smallest land footprint of any major power source

Virtually limitless supply

People have depended on coal, petroleum, and natural gas for their main source of energy, new sources of energy are being explored because of their unique benefits they offer for the environment and the world. One example of the sources of energy people can use is geothermal energy. For example, the heat found below the Earth’s crust, such as hot water, provides a large amount of energy if it can be correctly captured and utilized.

Although alternative energy sources have been explored, fossil fuels still make up 86 % of the USA's fuel input.  The problem remains, of course, that these energy sources have their limits, and that they are being depleted very quickly.

The Geyser Fields in northern California are an example of geothermal energy. They have had more than a dozen geothermal power plants using steam reservoirs to make electricity for over forty years.

Hopefully, scientists and engineers will be able to develop more cost efficient facilities that will be able to take advantage of the limitless geothermal energy located right here in the Earth.

We should use geothermal energy instead on non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, or natural gas for our main source of energy.

Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable, and a sustainable resource that provides energy in the U.S. and around the world. Heat flows constantly from the earth’s interior and will continue to radiate for billions of years to come, ensuring an inexhaustible supply of energy.
