Because the energy is generated right near the plant it saves on processing and transportation costs compared to other types of fuel Geothermal plants are also considered to be more reliable than coal or nuclear plants because they can run consistently 24 hours a day 365 days a year toolbar Comparison of Energy Sources What sort of energy source is used for a particular purpose should in the end be reflected in the price of the energy generated by the source
