- There are some minor environmental issues associated with geothermal power.
- Geothermal power plants can in extreme cases cause earthquakes.
- There are heavy upfront costs associated with both geothermal power plants and geothermal heating/cooling systems.
- Very location specific (most resources are simply not cost-competitive).
- Geothermal power is only sustainable (renewable) if the reservoirs are properly managed.

- Geothermal energy is generally considered environmentally friendly and does not cause significant amounts of pollution.
- Geothermal reservoirs are naturally replenished and therefore renewable (it is not possible to exhaust the resources).
- Massive potential – upper estimates show a worldwide potential of 2 terawatts (TW).
- Excellent for meeting the base load energy demand (as opposed to other renewables such as wind and solar).
- Great for heating and cooling – even small households can benefit.
- Harnessing geothermal energy does not involve any fuels, which means less cost fluctuations and stable electricity prices.
- Small footprint on land – can be built partially underground.
