I believe building geothermal plants are kind of gambling, nobody knows if the plant could produce enough electricty which is worth for the investment. Likelihood of success may be higher in some volcanic island such as Iceland, but Japan is different. This increases the investment when building the plant. That was one reason I heared when I was a college student.
Also there must be a financial reason. Japan already has other stable electrical sorces such as gas, nuclear and waterfall. If one of them will be replaced, geothermal plants can be a candidate and the likelihood of its acceptance will increase as the technology around the geothermal plant glows.
I think most important u already have nuclear. Hahaha so its a waste to use others
They are not going good here.
Only roughly 30% of nuclear plants are working. It is because of extremely long downtime for overhaulling. I heared 50% of their lifetime will be spent for overhauling and repairing.
They are not absolutely different from unlimited energy source. I doubt they are economically efficienct as well.
At least very stable as long as working.
The oldest plants are now being scrapped. All the workload will require 50 years to be scrapped safe and clean according to the plant's report. This happened in the United States and Russia, and is happening in Japan, and will soon happen all the countries that possess nuclear plants.
I hope renewable energy can be prominent choices for stable energy sources soon. And geothermal will be a choice in the near future if it happens.
Btw, good english you have there. 🫡
