it might have been a minute physics video or something

Correctly

but we already have perfectly safe nuclear reactors.
and i dont see any problems building more nuclear plants.

but of course if we get fusion working in some day its better idea.
but until that nuclear is best form of producing energy

The problem is that things are not as centralized as that.

Things matter on the state level now

So the silent Trump trap card won't be nearly as significant as in the presidential election.

why don't we take more advantage of geothermal energy?

like I'm sure people have tried to go down this path, we're not the scientists

I think we should focus on nuclear energy until something like fusion comes along.

but geothermal energy is the closest thing to free energy we have (yes I know there's no such thing as "free" energy but the earth has enough heat to sustain us)

geothermal has the same problem as hydro-electric

also, its not very clean, and is pretty dangerous

Stuff like solar panels and wind turbines are too circumstantial and just aren't that great overall.

what's the problem in question?

is it location specific?

geothermal requires heat vents if i remember correctly

either that or a really deep hole

could you theoretically make a heat vent?

I'm sure you could

you want to drill down to the mantel?

yeah that's kind of hte problem

You could tap into preexisting vents

technically you can, but at that point, you might as well be a nuclear reactor

we do already

but thats the problem

like wind and solar

there's already a lot of research on if fracking is causing earthquakes. I think the work involved to build geothermal energy outside of volcanic areas would introduce more than we asked for

also, it involves extremely hot, highly toxic, highly corrosive steam, which has enough power to send like a 1 ton pipe cap flying

Silent trump supporter is huge. Dude down the road with Cruz dig says he's had to replace it 10x

How many ppl aren't signing because of vandalism

You still need to generate heat in the process kiddos

yebo !

that said, geothermal could be useful for preventing active volcanoes from erupting and get power at the same time

there's definitely something to be had with using the Earth as a source of energy

way to go France

Yes one day we’re going to make deep and costly plants that will harness volcanic vents in the deep ocean

you tried

why would you be worried about CO2?
