Comment & Debate
“Pros and Cons of Geothermal Energy”. Energy Consumers Edge – Geothermal power plants have less aesthetics problems than other power plants.
Since they occupy the smallest space per kilowatt generated, it follows that they have the least visual impact of any power generation technology available.
If river water is used as a cooling medium, the entire power plant could be built underground or within structures already built for other uses. That would end all debate about the pros and cons of geothermal energy aesthetic concerns.
