Keep in mind that geothermal is an excellent source of baseload power, i.e. a direct substitute for fossil fuel as it can be dispatched 24/7 to meet fluctuations in power demand. As long as we lack real storage capability for solar PV, wind and even current CSP technology with a storage capability, (tends to be around 2-3 hrs), geothermal is really the only clean substitute for baseload power.

You don't have to have big plants to tap into geothermal power, either. Using geothermal wells and heat pumps you can basically cut the heating/cooling energy used by a house to (to, not by) a third. That should make them very lucrative for any new buildings. Despite their high initial costs, their effectiveness makes them pay the upfront cost back in a couple of years and past, that - pure profit.

There are many opportunities around the globe to tap into geothermal resources. It’s not a universal solution by any means, but can collectively make a measurable change in the consumption of fossil fuels.

This line really resonated with me! “This man was no treehugger. But he doesn’t have to be.”
(I was into the Austin Powers reference too…)
