Yes, fundamentally geothermal energy is NOT a renewable resource. The souge heat for geothermal energy is the heat from Earth's core (caused by the fission of heavy, radioactive isotopes). This heat is dissipating and will not be renewed. Also where geothermal energy is extracted, the turnover rate in the crustal rocks is so slow that the heat source is quickly cooled to the point of exhaustion. (Note, highly volcanic areas are an exception to this).
