Best Answer

From the earth's heat deep under the ground.

It basically runs a heat engine on the difference between the Earth's internal temperature and ambient surface temperature. The greater the difference, the more efficient the plant will be (this is true in general of all power plants no matter how they're fueled - the bigger the difference between the "hot side" and the "cold side" of the loop, the more efficient the plant is).
