Geothermal energy is becoming one of the most popular ways of heating your home.
The US generates the most geothermal energy in the world.
Most geothermal energy is converted to electricity, which can be used by many industries. Geothermal energy comes out of the ground in the form of hot water or steam, usually. This can be used for various purposes, including heating buildings.
Geothermal energy is being used extensively in NZ to produce power,Many countries in the world, especially Iceland and New Zealand are using geothermal energy.Geothermal energy is used in cooling and heating devices, like thermostats, and heating vents. They are also used in some greenhouses.California uses the most geothermal energy in the US. In 2013, the Golden State used over 80 percent of the geothermal energy used nationwide. Nevada is second with 15 percent.
Iceland has five geothermal power stations, which produce 30% of the country's energy. As well, geothermal heating warms 87% of all buildings in Iceland.However, the US generates the most electricity from geothermal sources, though it is only 0.3% of the nation's electricity. Other countries, in order of production (2012) are The Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, Italy and New Zealand, followed by Iceland.

The most common use of geothermal energy is for heating residential districts and businesses. Geothermal energy is also used to heat sidewalks and roads to prevent freezing in the winter. Source: Green Living Ideas Farmers, Fish Farmers, Industries, Steam plants and Power plants are other common users of Geothermal energy.
yes they do use the most geothermal energy.
No. Most of Iceland's electricity (75%) comes from hydro and 25% comes from geothermal. All its electricity is renewable. 87% of Iceland's hot water and heating is geothermal. Renewable energy sources meet 81% of Iceland's primary energy requirements for electricity, heat, and transportation. The remaining 19% is oil for transport.
Mostly geothermal energy, which is naturally heated water from underneath the earth from volcanoes.
Nevada has 21+ geothermal plants.

The initial cost would be buying the land that has geothermal capabilities as most land does not, so hundreds of thousands.
