Geothermal energy derives from the heat of the Earth's core, much like a vast and eternal battery. As one drills deeper into the Earth, temperatures rise dramatically, potentially exceeding 1100° Centigrade (2000° F) in molten rock. This heat can be tapped to generate electricity and directly heat buildings, just as it has been utilized in volcanic regions like Iceland for decades. While drilling into the Earth's crust to retrieve this heat seems straightforward, the practicalities are filled with challenges.
