I thought environmentalists loved geothermal since it is clean and renewable.

The carbon business is just a ruse. Hydroelectric is clean and renewable, but the greens want to tear down the dams, for the fish and the scenery. Nuclear is completely carbon-neutral, but nuclear is right out! Geothermal that threatens small toads, forget about it! Offshore windmills that spoil the view for the elites, nope.

They want us to live like Medieval peasants, minus the wood fires. Actually, I think they want us dead.

The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park supplies water to San Francisco. Otherwise they probably would have torn down the dam by now—reportedly it was a very beautiful valley before it was filled with the reservoir water.
