  German nuclear plants are laid out to provide electricity. However the push for geothermal is meant for heating homes, which geothermal has many massive advantages in.

      There are geothermal plants in regualar service for a long time, which provide power using geothermal. Kenya has a lot of them, as has Iceland.
