First and foremost, geothermal energy is extracted from the earth without burning fossil fuels, and geothermal fields produce practically no emissions. What's more, geothermal energy can be very beneficial, as you can achieve savings of up to 80% over conventional energy usage.
Why we shouldn't use geothermal energy?
Environmental issues
When geothermal energy is used, some of these gases escape towards the surface and into the atmosphere. These emissions tend to be higher near geothermal power plants. Geothermal power plants generate small amounts of sulfur dioxide and silica emissions.
Why is it good to use geothermal energy?
Why is geothermal energy a renewable resource? Answer: Because its source is the almost unlimited amount of heat generated by the Earth's core. Even in geothermal areas dependent on a reservoir of hot water, the volume taken out can be reinjected, making it a sustainable energy source.
