Why Geothermal Energy is the best form of Energy
The world currently has an energy crisis where we are highly dependent on petroleum and natural gas. Not only are these resources bound to run out one day, but it also pollutes the world more as time and society advance. Geothermal Energy is the best solution because it is a renewable resource that does not produce greenhouse gases and it comes from the crust, the mantle, and the core, so it will forever be there (Owen 4). Most countries have geothermal reservoirs which is when super hot magma will rise near an underground pool, then the water will be heated (Owen 6). Sometimes that hot water will rise even more to the surface and create geysers and hot springs (Owen 6). In Iceland, Geothermal Energy is 20% of their 100% of their already green energy (Owen 18). Geothermal Energy is also produced near where it is needed, so it is very convenient since you don't have to spend money on transportation like you do with coal, oil, and gas (Owen 26). Geothermal energy also does not require any certain condition of weather, so you can get energy no matter what (Owen 26).
