Are there hidden environmental and social costs of using geothermal energy?
No, there are very little hidden costs. geothermal energy is clean and non-polluting. It releases no carbon dioxide (CO2) to cause global warming. It has no social costs, as it is a renewable energy source. This makes it a very suitable substitute for fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is causing climate change.

Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
Why is geothermal energy defined as a renewable resource?
Using the energy does not deplete the source of the energy.
