What are the benefits of geothermal and oil-and-gas forms joining forces?

Explanation:

Geothermal energy is generally considered environmentally friendly and does not cause significant amounts of pollution.

Geothermal reservoirs are naturally replenished and therefore renewable (it is not possible to exhaust the resources).

Massive potential – upper estimates show a worldwide potential of 2 terawatts (TW).

Excellent for meeting the base load energy demand (as opposed to other renewables such as wind and solar).

Great for heating and cooling – even small households can benefit.

Harnessing geothermal energy does not involve any fuels, which means less cost fluctuations and stable electricity prices.

Small footprint on land – can be built partially underground.
