I am comparing solar and geothermal energy and then geothermal and hydro energy. Any ideas on what to put. Like similarites and differences.

Geothermal runs 24/7, whereas solar can only work during the day (though there are some pretty good ways of storing the energy at night.) Geothermal, however, cannot be done anywhere and is mostly limited to countries with a lot of volcanic activity, such as Iceland.
Hydro is 24/7, but again it can only be done where the conditions are right. Most cities do not have giant, damable rivers near them.
All of them, however, have the great similarity that they do not contribute to global warming, and are infinitely renewable.
