2. Geothermal power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power

   Geothermal power stations are similar to other steam turbine thermal power stations in that heat from a fuel source (in geothermal's case, the Earth's core) is used to heat water or another working fluid. The working fluid is then used to turn a turbine of a generator, thereby producing electricity.
