Of course the ultimate model of geothermal energy is Iceland. They make use of the geothermal energy in a super volcano to steel away aluminum smelting from the western hemisphere. Of course the US a huge undeveloped source of geothermal energy in the super volcano of Yellowstone.
So, we have geothermal, hydro, gas, coal, and nuclear - all extremely reliable and economical, long term sources of electrical power.
Why would anyone throw money away on other, grid-endangering, uneconomical without subsidies, weather dependent, less energy intensive, short-lived, land gobbling, landfill needy, environmentally damaging, and unreliable sources like wind, solar, and battery backup? Or speculative, pie-in-the-sky expensive pipe dreams like hydrogen for fuel, or nuclear fusion?
Answer: They wouldn't, unless they could figure out ways to profit from grants, subsidies and other money-laden incentives.

An excellent article, as always. The lawsuits by the usual players will set back geothermal decades.

Mark Carney the evil central banker and new marxist in power in Canada was the "scientist" quoted to justify climate authoritarianism
Then when I track down his "lecture" he confesses to wanting to give GLOBAL CITIZENS THEIR LIFETIME CARBON BUDGETS.
Also my book WORLD ON MUTE by Lisa Miron is now out. 8 usd.
