• Geothermal energy harnesses the power of the Earth's internal heat.
• Geothermal power is clean, reliable and cost effective but its availability is often limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries.
• In some parts of Iceland, hot water runs from geothermal power plants under pavements and roads to help melt ice.
• A home geothermal energy pump can cut energy bills by 30 to 40 percent and will pay for itself. 
• Geothermal energy can be used for a power source and for heating.
