Encyclopedic overview
Steam rising from the Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station in Iceland The Imperial Valley Geothermal Project near the Salton Sea, California
Geothermal energy is thermal energy extracted from the Earth's crust. It combines energy from the formation of the planet and from radioactive decay. Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia.
