Turning red-hot lava from an active volcano into electricity would be dangerous and unreliable. Geothermal energy comes from heat generated by natural processes deep within the Earth.
Volcanoes act like giant heat vents, raising magma closer to Earth's surface. Engineers identify areas where magma is near the surface and drill deep wells down to the heated rocks.
The Earth constantly produces heat, so geothermal energy is a renewable resource. Geothermal power plants produce much less pollution, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels.
Geothermal energy sources can last for decades or even longer, providing a sustainable energy solution through a low-impact, continuous process of harnessing Earth's internal heat.
