    Geothermal energy is heat from the Earth’s interior. It is harnessed by drilling wells to access hot water or steam, which is then used to drive turbines for electricity generation or to provide direct heating. Geothermal power plants and ground-source heat pumps are common methods for utilizing this renewable energy source.
