Geothermal energy is generated by drilling deep holes into the earths crust, and pumping cold water through the hole. When the water rises back to the surface, it is hundreds of degrees Celsius hot, which is then used as steam to drive a turbine which drives a generator creating power, making geothermal energy one of the best alternative renewable energy sources.
The biggest advantage of using geothermal heat to generate power is that a geothermal system does not create any pollution. Although It may release some gases from deep down inside the earth occasionally, that may be slightly harmful, but these can be contained quite easily.
The cost of the land where you plan to build a geothermal power plant is usually less expensive as compared to other areas that are suitable to construct an oil, gas, coal, or nuclear power plant. The main reason behind this is land space, as geothermal plants take up very little space, so there is no need to purchase a larger area of land.
As geothermal energy is very clean, you will be able to get tax cuts, and there will be no environmental bills or quotas to comply with the country’s carbon emission scheme.
There is simply no fuel required to generate the power, which means that the running cost for the plant is very low as there are no costs for purchasing, transporting, or cleaning up any fuel.
All you need to do is to provide power to the water pumps, which can be generated by the power plant itself anyway once it starts working.
Thus geothermal power stations are an excellent option to provide clean, cheap, simple, renewable power.

Above mentioned advantages Of Geothermal Energy are good, as we know Geothermal energy also making new space among with other one but I think solar energy is the best among all.
