ABSTRACT

A review of Hydro and Geothermal Energy is reported. In line with the effect of Climate Change, and the constraints imposed by these changes on mankind, the need arose for man to source for alterative and environmental friendly   energy.  Hydro and geothermal energies and their sources were reviewed and compared with other forms of energy globally. The economics, environmental impact and potential for the future were investigated. Consequent on the fore going, an inference was drawn that our primary attention should be focused on harnessing the solar energy for industrial and domestic usage.

Keywords: Hydropower, Geothermal Energy, Environmental Impact, Climate Change, Economics.
