Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Geothermal energy does not require any fuel and as a result, any kind of pollution or greenhouse gases is not produced. Hydroelectricity is a form of energy generated by the motion of water (kinetic energy) and is converted into electricity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydropower is a renewable source of energy. The energy generated through hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, making it renewable. Hydropower is fueled by water, making it a clean source of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geothermal energy is heat derived below the earth’s surface which can be harnessed to generate clean, renewable energy. This vital, clean energy resource supplies renewable power around the clock and emits little or no greenhouse gases–all while requiring a small environmental footprint to develop.
