Geothermal power plants could be constructed anywhere there is an active thermal vent, or one near the surface. There are a number of places around the world where plants can be (or are) constructed.
Iceland has geothermal power plants. Additionally, these plants could be built along the so-called "ring of fire." That's the great arc of interfaces between tectonic plates along the western Americas, up through Alaska. The arc continues on down through Japan and the Philippines, and further into the area around Indonesia. We know that Hawaii and New Zealand have active geothermal vents, too. It is possible to put in a plant in a few places in Europe and Africa as well. Anywhere that there is an active volcano, there is an active geothermal vent.

Disadvantages of geothermal energy?
you must build huge power plants
What 4 states have geothermal power plants?
what 4 states have geothermal power plants
Is geothermal energy dangerous?
No. Geothermal power plants use extremely hot liquids to generate electricity. Electricity too is dangerous when not managed properly. However, if the power plant is build and run properly then it is not dangerous.
How much does it cost to build a geothermal power plant?
About $10.5 million depending on the size of the plant. A large plant could be upwards of $50 million. Small geothermal plants can be anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000.
Where is the best location in the US for Geothermal power plants?

How are geothermal power plants currently used?
Geothermal power plants are used to provide power to the power distribution grid, just like other traditional power plants. Since geothermal power plants are able to run around the clock, they are used to provide baseline power, unlike many other renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.

Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
Where else in the US can you find geothermal power plants?
