"...geothermal is the answer. it’s everywhere. absolutely clean. and the ‘fuel’ is just water being boiled at the bottom of a 6+ mile shaft... the resultant steam comes up other shafts which turns a steam turbine which can produce 1+ gigawatts of power." And how much does it cost to drill that 6+ mile deep hole?
Sorry, no deal.....build nukes.

Water is “absolutely clean”
Wrong. Water from the earth contains huge amounts of highly corrosive dissolved salts and minerals. Dealing with the concentrated brines is a challenge. It’s not insurmountable, but a serious problem (lots of geothermal plants are running around the world).
