  • Yes, geothermal energy is considered a renewable resource because it is derived from the Earth's internal heat, which is replenished naturally.

• What’s an advantage of geothermal?

  • Low greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.

• What’s a disadvantage of geothermal?

  • High initial capital costs for installation and exploration.

• How can you harvest geothermal?

  • By drilling wells to access hot water or steam, and using it to generate electricity or provide direct heating.

• Where can geothermal energy be found?

  • Primarily in areas with volcanic activity, tectonic plate boundaries, and hot spots (e.g., Iceland, the Philippines, and the western United States).

• How can geothermal be used as energy?

  • For electricity generation, direct heating (e.g., district heating systems), and for heating/cooling buildings through geothermal heat pumps.
