The perspective development and usage of the heat produced in the Earth as a sustainable source of energy for electricity, for heating, and for cooling for time to come: Geothermal future is working towards a successful result in providing an eco-friendly supply of energy for time to come.
Most people think the word "geothermal" means hot springs and geysers; such as, parts of Iceland or Yellowstone National Park where water is heated by the presence of magma near the surface of the earth.
The Earth’s heat lies below the surface everywhere, and it is believed that it offers an untapped energy reserve of enormous potential with a very short list of drawbacks.
Some of the negative aspects of geothermal development is that it will mean more competition for scarce water, more holes in the ground, and more roads to service those holes.
