Best Answer

Geothermal energy can only be exploited where the geology causes the right conditions, a source of heat near the earth's surface that is stable and allows a power plant to be built. An active volcano wouldn't be any use as the plant would probably be wrecked after a short time. Once the electricity is generated it can be sent to the nearest substation.
