'Geothermal energy, or heat generated from the earth, is largely non-polluting, and is renewable and reliable," says Ashley Winters and John Parke.

In Stephen Leeb's The Complete Investor, the contributing editors look at a trio of diverse plays on geothermal energy:  Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Calpine (NYSE: CPN), and Ormat Technologies (NYSE: ORA).
