  Polluting Energy Sources

Geothermal energy, generated by converting the hot water or steam from deep beneath the Earth's surface into electricity, emits very little air pollution at a low price. Right now, geothermal plants in the U.S. provide electricity for 3.5 million homes. And geothermal reserves that have already been found could supply our entire country with electricity for 30 years, with no new technological advances.
