I am currently doing a science project on geothermal elecricity. I am very fond of the topic but I do not know what it will do for our future. Please help?

Expect price to go down after technology gets adopted. Geothermal power is classed as “green power” and has lower emissions of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour of electricity than even the cleanest Nuclear power and CO2 emissions
Life cycle analysis for Vattenfall’s Environmental Product Declaration for its 3090 MWe Forsmark power plant in Sweden for 2002 has yielded some energy data which is up to date and certified. It shows energy inputs over 40 years to be 1.35% of the output.
Related to this is the question of carbon dioxide emissions arising from those inputs, which for Forsmark are 3.10 grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh). http://www.world-nuclear.org/education/comparativeco2.html
