I am very pro geo thermal. Been following Quaise drilling for a long time. The biggest downside to geothermal is that in the process of running water up and down, the water can come up with some green house gases, generally sulfur based compounds. Overall, not nearly as bad as the current options, but it’s not like geo thermal is perfectly green. We should still consider it over any fossil fuel and possibly nuclear.
I'll take a little sulphur over the radioactive poisoning from coal plants any day of the week.
I swear if I have to explain nuclear fuel disposal one more time!
Never mind. You get to live.
I'm a nuclear power fan lol. I know all the talking points because I have to argue with my family every time lol
