geothermal energy is heat rising from a cored hole in the earths crust. The heat rises to the surface in the form af a hot wind, turns a turbine, which then continues like any other power generation technique i.e hydroelectric, wind turbine/ wind mill. Geothermal is very expensive. At this time it is not cost effective or sustainable. 

Nuclear energy uses steam created from radioactive material heating water. The water turns the turbine, and so on...and so on... Nuclear energy is largly considered the cleanest most efficient form of energy production in the world. However the waste removal and storage of the radioactive material is a serious environmental issue. It is cost effective, but extremely volitile and tempermental (Churnobal). 

Hope this helps.
