Best Answer

Geothermal energy is green, clean, renewable or non-depletable energy. It emits no greenhouse gases, and if it's in the right spot it should keep going for as long as the world lasts.

Technically geothermal energy is thermal (heat) energy provided by the hot interior of the Earth. Most often it is in the form of steam which is directed into te turbines of a standard power plant.

The only pollution resulting from it is the thermal pollution of the disposal of heated water to the environment. This can be eliminated by proper cooling facilities.
