Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors ( LFTR ).
Geothermal is limited in locations where it is possible and fresh water is available for the turbines. Wind is subject to the predictability of the winds and can only be relied upon for 1/6 of it's capacity plus it needs alternate load following generation for when energy is needed but wind isn't blowing, it simply can't be the majority of the energy production on the grid as it uses the rest of the production to bank it's intermittent nature.
If you want alternate sources of electricity such as wind and solar where the capacity is banked off other production then you need something with a load following characteristic such as LFTR, not even light water nuclear reactors are load following. Currently hydro and gas turbines are the most load following
The large wind turbines us oil to cool the gearboxes for generation of electricity so some say that's not "green" using a petroleum byproduct. Geothermal, in my opinion is great, but maybe not in all geographic locations plus it's expensive to install and digging down into the earth to excavate? So, I guess you would have to ask the question what do you mean by "good for the environment"? Do you mean not altering the Earth...keeping it natural? You can't metal detect on government lands and state/National parks because you would have to dig to recover your find and that means disturbing nature by altering/damaging the parks ecosystem...(depending on who you talk to). Are you limiting yourself to only these two choices? Consider hydro power and solar. True, producing solar panels use energy and create carbon emissions also...so it's a toss up depending on the definition of "environment". My choice just from the face value question, I would pick geothermal. Using the Earth's natural ability to function as a solution. But, will geothermal cook your food or keep your refrigerator cold?
Me is Geothermal energy does not require as much land to produce its power as do other clean energies. A geothermal power plant only requires roughly 10 percent of the amount of land needed by a solar farm to produce the same amount of energy.
Some can cost a lot but with Solar Companies Gold Coast, solar panels come at very affordable costs. This means that just about anyone can get into solar nowadays. Give us a call today and we shall start discussing about your solar needs. -

That depends on WHERE you are, as to which would be better for your location.
In many areas, wind is insufficient for MOST uses, and in others geothermal is not available at reasonable costs and/or depths.
Example: Around the base of an active volcano, geothermal would be great, but NOT so good at the north or south poles.
I choose geothermal. It is always available, and everything is underground. With wind, the speed has to be not too slow or it does not work. And the wind cannot be too strong or it will tear the blades apart.
The wind does not always blow. And, if too much electricity is pumped into the electric grid, the wind turbines have to be braked back.
I never imagined that it was possible to get Free Electricity. I have seen a lot of products offering ways to save on electricity or get free power and I have tried most of them. To my dismay, they are all useless and I just wasted my money trying them. When I saw Power Innovator, I remembered that if someone would have created a Free Energy Device, it would have been Prof Richard Goran the genius that invented the electricity.
And tell you what: this system literally turns my electric meter backwards! Can you imagine how much money I am saving on my electric bill? I hope that many more people will use your product. Thank you so much!

Probably wind - but each depends on the process and materials used to make the device

I'm doing a project for school and I need to know which one is the best for the enviroment
