Facts about Geothermal Energy Facts about Geothermal Energy Introduction Like the sun, Earth's inner core provides energy in the form of heat to the surface above. This form of heat energy is called geothermal energy. Geothermal energy can be used for heat or power, depending on the location, with minimal impact to the environment.
report focuses on geothermal energy's potential in Hawaiʻi by comparing wind, solar, and geothermal resources in terms of cost, land use, and associated hazards. Facts show that geothermal is a clean, baseload renewable energy that can enable Hawaiʻi to achieve its green energy goals. The subsequent discussion will show that geothermal .
