How is geothermal cleaner than wind or solar?

In Taupo, if my memory serves, the geothermal fluid was found to have high concentrations of arsenic (?) that was seriously polluting rivers.

The subsidence of surrounding land was a problem too

They developed ways of re-injecting the fluid into the well which they hoped would fix both problems, and time will tell.
