Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth, its a clean and sustainable resource. They use the steam to power a turbine generator to generate electricity.

I think it’s a really good solution since the earth is heating up and it’s a clean, it doesnt have any acidic chemicals which means it wouldn’t cause acid rain while other ways emit a lot of harmful chemicals to the atmosphere and geothermal is a sustainable way to get energy.

I don’t think it would be an easy solution to do because it would be expensive and it would take time to build but I think it will be effective in places where there’s a lot of traffic because it could reduce the CO2 emissions and some traffic and since it runs on electricity it doesn’t emit as much greenhouse gases if the power is from Hydroelectric Dams.
