Can it provide energy cheaper than coal? That is the question they must answer.<br>

Geothermal energy is energy extracted from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface by means water (or steam) circulating in deep wells. It is used for space heating or for generating electricity; see the Geothermal power article on Wikipedia for details.
