I believe that geothermal energy is better than wind energy because:
1) it is WAY more reliable. Due to the hot molten core of the earth, the crust of earth is always a steady hot temperature year-round. Wind energy depends on the sun (wind is caused by uneven heating of the earth's surface) so, wind depends on the weather, and the weather is ALWAYS changing, especially with global warming.
2) Geothermal installations go underground, so they don't take up any space on the earth's surface. Wind farms take up little space on the ground, but can injure or even kill birds and bats who get sucked in too close to them. I have also heard that some people apparently think wind farms are ugly.
3) Wind energy only provides electricity, but geothermal provides much, much, more. Geothermal can also provide electricity but mostly heats your home. in the summer, it can cool your house by drawing heat underground.
What else can I help you with?
What is one advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy?
One advantage of geothermal energy over wind energy is that geothermal energy is more consistent and reliable, as it is not dependent on wind availability. Geothermal energy also has a smaller footprint and visual impact compared to wind turbines, making it more suitable for certain locations.
Solar energy wind and geothermal are what type of energy resource?
Solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy are all examples of renewable energy resources.
What are the advantages geothermal energy has over wind energy?
Geothermal energy is reliable as it provides constant power, whereas wind energy can be intermittent depending on wind conditions. Geothermal power plants have a smaller footprint compared to wind farms. Geothermal energy has lower operating costs and can be more cost-effective in the long run.
Is geothermal energy cheaper than wind energy?
In short: no. Geothermal energy harnessing is still in its infancy compared to wind energy, and therefore, more expensive. Overall geothermal energy has been done on a very small scale, but technological breakthroughs need to occur before it can be successfully worldwide. Then again, with the U.S. energy industry being deregulated, wind energy can be more expensive than other energy types. For instance, when I lived in western Arkansas, I used OG&E as my energy provider, and they offered wind power for just 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour, which was half of a conventional plan. In Texas, providers generally charge 2 cents MORE per kilowatt hour for using purely wind power than conventional.
Can you give me some non examples of geothermal energy?
there is actually no non examples of geothermal

How do you use solar energy and wind energy?
Yes its alternative is geothermal or wind energy
Is wind energy different from geothermal?
Yes. Wind energy comes from the wind. Geothermal (Geo = Ground, Thermal = Heat or temperature) comes from the heat in the ground.
What is another energy source other than fossil fuels?
Wind, hydro-electric, solar, geothermal
Is geothermal energy use wind to produce energy?
no it uses volcanoes
