Geothermal energy, the harnessing of heat radiating from the Earth’s crust, is a renewable resource that is capable of cost-effectively generating large amounts of power. In addition, geothermal energy can be relied on to pump out energy 24/7. This reliability makes geothermal viable with invariable fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and nuclear.
