Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The thermal power plant uses charcoal as fuel for producing steam, while the geothermal power plant receives heat from the inside of the earth to produce steam. A thermal power plant uses a non-renewable source of energy, while a geothermal power plant uses a renewable source of energy. The difference between these sources of energy is that the thermal power plant causes more pollution than the geothermal power plant. Using geothermal energy is relatively clean.
Therefore the correct statement would be that thermal energy causes more pollution than geothermal power plants.
