Geothermal Energy is not Renewable Energy W hile the world is concerned with carbon emissions from fossil fuels it looks for sustainable alternatives. It must be noted that while wind, solar, hydro and energy from biofuels is sustainable because it is renewable, geothermal energy is not sustainable. It can never be replaced. Its use and exploitation beyond what happens naturally (say in volcanoes and hot springs or through heat transfer) has unknown consequences that could lead to destruction of Mother Earth as we know it from changing earths magnetic fields, movement of continental shelves to Earth quakes. When the core of Earth is hollowed by mining the material so extracted is brought to the surface but Earth can be replenished. However heat extracted from its core can never ever be replenished.
