  • Pros: -Clean, renewable energy - Produces no greenhouse gases or pollutants -Inexpensive once a geothermal plant is installed -Stable output–doesn’t fluctuate with the weather Cons: -Location, location, location!–Not every place has enough accessible geothermal energy to make it worth installing a plant -Expensive to drill down to the hot rocks necessary for geothermal power generation -Tough competition from other renewables such as wind and solar
