In short: no.
Geothermal energy harnessing is still in its infancy compared to wind energy, and therefore, more expensive. Overall geothermal energy has been done on a very small scale, but technological breakthroughs need to occur before it can be successfully worldwide.
Then again, with the U.S. energy industry being deregulated, wind energy can be more expensive than other energy types. For instance, when I lived in western Arkansas, I used OG&E as my energy provider, and they offered wind power for just 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour, which was half of a conventional plan. In Texas, providers generally charge 2 cents MORE per kilowatt hour for using purely wind power than conventional.

What is one advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy?
One advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy is:it can produce larger amounts of electricity.Hope I could help!
Is geothermal a renewable or nonrenewable?
geothermal energy is a renewable energy source: similar to wind, solar, etc.
Energy experts have harnessed geothermal energy by?
creating of wind generators.
Solar energy wind and geothermal are what type of energy resource?
renewable
What makes the wind and geothermal energy?
Heat from the sun is the original cause of the wind, helped by the rotation of the earth. Energy from geothermal comes from the heat under the surface of the earth.
Which is a renewable energy source?
Geothermal ( apex )
How do you use solar energy and wind energy?
Yes its alternative is geothermal or wind energy
Is wind energy different from geothermal?
Yes. Wind energy comes from the wind. Geothermal (Geo = Ground, Thermal = Heat or temperature) comes from the heat in the ground.
What is one advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy?
One advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy is:it can produce larger amounts of electricity.Hope I could help!
Is wind solar energy?
It is not counted as solar energy, but all energy sources other than geothermal can ultimately be traced back to the sun.
Is geothermal a renewable or nonrenewable?
geothermal energy is a renewable energy source: similar to wind, solar, etc.
