    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power

    Geothermal power is electrical power generated from geothermal energy. Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 26 countries, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] while geothermal heating is in use in 70 countries.

  3. Geothermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy

    Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia. Geothermal heating, using water from hot springs, for example, has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since Roman times. Geothermal power (generation of electricity from geothermal energy), has been used since the 20th ...
