Because it's a 'clean' (nonpolluting) and potentially cheap long-term resource. After all, the center of the Earth has been molten hot for billions of years, and is expected to remain so for billions more.

What sentence can you write with the word geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy is becoming one of the most popular ways of heating your home.


Is fuel needed to get geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy, such as hot springs, is used to heat home and factories so in this sense geothermal energy is fuel. However to create a system that uses geothermal needs an infrastucture which needs to be designed and built, in this sense geothermal energy needs an energy input.


What are some questions about geothermal energy that you would like to explore further?

Some questions about geothermal energy that could be explored further include: How can we increase the efficiency of geothermal power plants? What are the environmental impacts of geothermal energy extraction? How can geothermal energy be integrated into existing energy grids? What are the potential economic benefits of expanding geothermal energy production? How can we improve the technology for harnessing geothermal energy from different types of geothermal resources?


Is geothermal energy intermittent?

Geothermal energy. Heat from deep under the ground remains constant, not intermittent, so geothermal plants that drill deep into the hot layers will have constant power.Hydro and wave energy is also constant. Other alternative energy sources (solar, wind, tides) are all intermittent, as power is only available at particular times, and so need energy storage.


Will geothermal energy last forever?

Geothermal energy will last as long as the earth lasts, so it technically won't run out. As long as the earth's core remains molten and the sun heats the surface of the earth, we'll have geothermal energy.
