What is Geothermal Energy?

Geothermal energy is extreme heat or thermal energy beneath the Earth's surface.  Approximately 30 ft underneath the surface, the Earth holds a consistent temperature  of 50 ° F - 54 ° F. This neutral temperature is siphoned from the Earth and used to generate steam to make electricity as well as provide heating and cooling to a home.  Some examples of geothermal energy can be found through geysers, lava mountains, and hot springs,
