Down deep, much deeper than geothermal pockets, many of the disadvantages of geothermal will be slight, if any.
I believe our crust is saturated with super heated water. Hotter and more pressure than geothermal. Less brine. Tapping and using it does not cause a geo shift. Or a change in geo force direction.
Perfect power source. Only 10 miles away. This does not imply or infer that geo pockets can’t go deeper. Crust water is different than geo water. Not heated with faults. Not fault related.
I believe there is much more crust water than all other water combined. Big Waters. Soak earth waters.
If our planet’s core is heated with radio activity decay, there should be a He percentage in that water. It is the core of many atomic element structures. Quite common inside matter. A building block.
Bore hole tech is the future for AI and electricity. When process is cheap, solutions are possible.
If it were cheap to convert sea water, flesh water would not be a problem. Pollution would not be a problem. Quick reliable transportation would not be a problem. Food any where, any time, would not be a problem. Secure indoor farming. Monthly harvest. That’s fresh.
Cheap clean abundant power does not bring utopia, but it does solve a lot of problems.
We will always argue. We can change the argument, 10 miles down.
This geothermal exploration will give crust water a bad rep.
