Why would geothermal energy be a better method of obtaining energy in California as opposed to Texas?

California is on a fault line between two tectonic plates (the Pacific Ring of Fire). So there are hot rocks close under the ground. The water for geothermal power plants is heated by pumping it down underground where is comes in contact with hot rocks. It then comes up a second shaft as steam. This steam is used to spin electricity turbines, producing electricity. So this would be much easier in California than in Texas.

Is solar power better than geothermal energy?
There really isn't a "better" type of energy but solar doesn't affect the Earth as much as geothermal energy because we always get the sun but with geothermal energy we have to use more resources. But then again if we have solar energy then when it's dark we don't have the sun to power things unless we stored it which is very complex. so as i said there really isn't a better energy source.
