The amount with in the earth’s surface contains 50,000 times more energy than all the oil and natural gas resources in the world.

To get that heat, water is pumped down an “injection well”. Then it filters through the cracks in the rocks where they are at a high temperature. The water then returns via the “recovery well” under pressure in the form of steam. That steam is captured and is used to drive electric generators.

Archaeological evidence shows that the first human use of geothermal resources in North America occurred more than 10,000 years ago with the settlement of Paleo-Indians at hot springs

Geothermal energy is giving 18 % of Iceland's total electricity.

bounadaries and faults are cracks in the Earth’s crust where magma rises near or to the surface. Geothermal plants take advantage of this fact using water heated by this volcanic activity to produce electric power.

The best part is that it is clean energy. There is no way it can produce pollution that can harm the environment
