This is TOTAL BULL.
How is it that geothermal is viable EVERYWHERE except in the USA? The ENTIRE country of Iceland is powered by geothermal. Geothermal is CLEAN, CHEAP, ABUNDANT: which is precisely why it will NEVER be ALLOWED to be developed, especially in hypocritical doublespeak phony-assed California. California’s ‘commitment’ to fighting global warming is as phony as the tits on Rodeo Drive…..

Natural gas will be cheaper and easier to locate closer to the loads, lessening the need for transmission.
