NIMBY about geothermal energy
https://coloradosun.com/2023/09/03/geothermal-plant-chaffee-county-opposition/
Rural areas in Colorado could have some geothermal production. BUT you need
- power transmission lines
- a faciliity
- no risk of well water pollution
and other things the locals don't want.
I wonder when the state will do something like the wolf reintroduction vote & just override the rural parts of the state.
nostr:npub1ul8tua30lc5rs6ytqus250kg244vevnaumsdsqfl42cz3n86hhzs04kl35 Important bit to understand about "free geothermal" on the example of Iceland, small, isolated, strategically unimportant country with no globally interesting resources,400K people of similar mindset, a lot of easily exploited geothermal energy. They voted to switch to fully geothermal energy infrastructure (and they are using it a lot for a long time).Engineers were asked to set timeline.For small isolated country of little needs rich in geothermal it will take 50 years to achieve it
