Yes, there is no pollution emitted from a geothermal power plant apart from water to cool the equipment, and this can usually be recycled. There is some noise from the electricity turbines, but no more than other factories in industrial areas.

Can geothermal energy plants be built anywhere in the world?
No. Geothermal energy plants can only be built at or near thermal vents.
Where is geothermal energy being used the most?
Nevada has 21+ geothermal plants.
Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
Where do you get geothermal energy?
You can get it in geysers and mostly geothermal power plants. Geothermal energy makes use of the heat of the Earth to heat water, make steam, and turn a turbine.
What is the source of energy used by geothermal power plants?
A thorough explanation of the geothermal energy would take a lot of discussion. Briefly; the Earth's core is molten rock (read very hot). The heat rises to the surface in multiple ways. Geothermal power plants make use of this heat (geothermal energy) to generate electrical power.

How is geothermal converted into energy?
it can be converted by using flash or conserving energy from plants
Who use geothermal?
The most common use of geothermal energy is for heating residential districts and businesses. Geothermal energy is also used to heat sidewalks and roads to prevent freezing in the winter. Source: Green Living Ideas Farmers, Fish Farmers, Industries, Steam plants and Power plants are other common users of Geothermal energy.

Disadvantages of geothermal energy?
you must build huge power plants
Is geothermal energy gives more electricity than fossil fuels?
it has the potential to, but at present there is not enough geothermal plants to do so.
What has the author Glenn W Suter written?
Glenn W. Suter has written: 'Effects of geothermal energy development on fish and wildlife' -- subject(s): Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Geothermal engineering, Environmental aspects of Geothermal power plants, Geothermal engineering, Geothermal power plants
What state uses the most geothermal energy?
The United States leads the world in production of Geothermal Energy. 2010 figures show 3086 megawatts produced from 77 power plants.
Where are the power plants made for geothermal enegr?
There are now about 400 geothermal power plants in 22 countries around the world. The United States, the Philippines, Italy, Mexico, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, and Iceland are the largest producers of geothermal energy.
