Which Energy Source Causes the Most Deaths? Hint, it Ain't Nuclear.

Geothermal 101

Geothermal energy refers to the power generated using heat from the Earth’s core. It is considered renewable energy because this energy is essentially capturing the nearly infinite heat which is generated by the ongoing process at the molten core of our planet. According to the Geothermal Energy Association, the heat continuously flowing from the core of the Earth is estimated to be equivalent to 42,000 gigawatts (GW) of power (20+ times today’s global electricity gen...
