We really could reduce it with geothermal..
but humans keep insisting on the worst solutions.. go figure
Geothermal? Depends on the region... i am all in for new Nuclear tech
reply
In the same way hydro is regional. I don't see why that's a knock on the technology. A lot of people live in geologically active areas and many of those are suitable for geothermal power.
Also, as with hydro, we might see geothermal plants built in remote areas for the sole purpose of Bitcoin mining.

Geothermal is basically infinite.
With a simple steam mechanism you can harvest free energy near volcanos with zero risk.. its super cheap and clean..
You just need a vulcano. Obviously due to our human nature we can’t provide free energy or give it to places where theres no vulcanos.. nuclear is fine, but super costly and risky

You don't need a volcano, necessarily, pretty much anywhere with hot springs will do.

Sounds even better then

I don't really understand why geothermal hasn't gotten more adoption. Maybe if there weren't so many subsidies going towards oil, wind, ans solar, we'd see more geothermal.
