Geothermal energy What is geothermal energy‚ and how can we use it in society? Geothermal energy is the use of the Earths very own energy. It’s renewable‚ clean and can range to easily acquirable hot springs on the surface or hot rock found a few miles below the surface. Or you can go a bit deeper and hit the extremities of the molten rock (magma). In the US around 80% of all geothermal hotspots are found on the western states i.e. Alaska and Hawaii. Wells are drilled deep into the underground
