Geothermal is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It can be used to heat and cool homes.


Bad: There are dissolved solids like mercury and other heavy toxic metals. And disrupting habits and soil with drilling.

Geothermal energy can also have a possibility of triggering earthquakes. And for it to be sustainable the geothermal fluid needs to be pumped back into the ground at a high enough rate for it to be successful
