The Conversation – Geothermal electricity produces emissions but is categorized with wind and solar power as a renewable source of power. Why? And can we reduce the emissions geothermal plants produce?
The geothermal resource is more consistent than hydro, solar and wind, as it doesn’t depend on the weather, but the geothermal heat in a reservoir is finite and no energy resource should be thought of as unlimited or free unless we use very small quantities.
