Can Geothermal Energy run out?
• 100% renewable
• Earth’s core is always going to be heated
• As long as there is a way to extract the energy from the
heat, the energy will always be available
• Overall, geothermal appears to be a sound
solution to energy needs
• Geothermal energy has the ability to expand
• Few environmental effects
• Very cost efficient
• Geothermal is RENEWABLE
