They are drilling into the earth's crust. Geothermal energy comes from heat under the surface of the earth.
What are some problems with geothermal power?
It's not really a problem, per se, but the challenge with geothermal power is that it requires drilling to a geothermal heat source. Since drilling is expensive, geothermal power is most cost-effective in locations where geothermal heat sources are close to the surface and/or the ground is relatively easy to drill through.
