Geothermal Energy - 63Fossil Fuels - 6
  • Anonymous . 3+ yrs. ago
Geothermal energy is a more renewable source of energy than Fossil Fuels. There are many reasons as explained in this article as to why geothermal energy is better than fossil fuels such as cost, power output and less emissions. However, I would like to say that the only problems I believe there are with geothermal energy is that for one, the pumps have to be quite close to the site the power will be used. Not sure everyone would like a power plant that close to home.
Two, there have been cases where earthquakes were caused due to a geothermal energy plant and three, I believe another source of power is required in order to power the pump for the geothermal plant to produce energy.

On another note, thank you this was very useful XD

Well I think geothermal is better because it is more economical and human friendly. It is also an inexhaustible resource. That means it will never run out.

Geothermal energy is a lot less than that produced by fossil fuels energy sources. Geothermal energy has a comparable emissions output to other sources of renewable energy such as solar and wind power.

global warming has become a serious issue. Its high time, countries across the world stand up united for this cause. Switching to the cleaner an alternative fuels for generating power is the first step they need to take while spearheading this cause.

It is renewable. No worries about toxic nuclear waste(am I wrong?) Geothermal energy costs only 5 cents per kWh to produce, making it 50% lower than the cost of producing power from fossil fuel sources(source: http://recomparison.com/comparisons/100859/geothermal-energy-vs-fossil-fuels-its-time-for-a-change/). Do not like nuclear power plants and do not like mountain top removal mining of coal...etc etc etc.
