The answer is; In the US, hydroelectric power is a more widely used energy source than geothermal energy

Of the total power produced in the US, 7% is contributed by hydroelectric sources while geothermal power contributes only 1% of this total. Hydroelectric contributed about 44% of US renewable energy sources. Both geothermal and hydroelectric plants utilize turbine to harness this energy to electricity.
