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,
