The Benefits to Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy comes with plenty of benefits to the environment and the economy. First of all, the emissions that come with geothermal energy are low, especially compared to the energy used in other resources such as coal and oil.

Second of all, we can help diversifying our country's electricity generation portfolio thus making for a more a dependable and greener future. The use of geo thermal energy reduces pollution, reduces global warming and reduces the risk of oil spills and other problems associated with using fossil fuels.

Finally, geothermal energy is a lot cheaper compared to other sources of energy, especially considering the price of oil. Those who use geothermal energy in their homes can expect to save on electricity and the costs for heating water each month.
