The interior of the Earth is at a very high temperature. That
heat from the core is the ultimate source of geothermal energy.
When the Earth was formed 4.8 billion years ago, the core was
mostly molten iron and nickle. The energy to heat the core came
from the gravitational energy present at the time of formation.
Since then, additional heat energy has been added through nuclear
decay of uranium and other heavy materials which were also included
in the original formation process.

The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much
electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind
energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
