A geothermal power plant is the alternative energy generation technology that requires burning fossil fuels to start generating electricity.

Explanation:

A geothermal power plant derives its energy from the steam or from the heated up water that is present deep inside the surface of the Earth at some locations. The presence of steam or hot water at such locations is due to the heat available in the interiors of Earth. This heat is partially generated from the burning of fossil fuels that are present deep inside the Earth.
