      You’re not missing anything. Nuclear is looking more and more like it won’t be economically feasible going forward. If modern geothermal provides a cheaper way to feed dispatchable electricity into the grid, in more places, then that might very well be the last link in making a zero-carbon grid possible.

        i can see how nuclear and eventually fusion will be important in the centuries to come for … portable… energy. just boggles my mind why we have put zero effort into geothermal

        we have no problem going to ridiculous lengths for oil and gas.
