Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. It works by tapping into the heat trapped deep within the earth. Steam is extracted from the earth, used to turn a turbine, and many power plants now inject this water, (sometimes with additional water) back into the ground, so that it can flash into steam and be extracted again. Done this way, a reservoir can be tapped for energy for a very long time. The heat in the reservoir is renewed by heat deeper in the earth.
