  geothermal is boiling water too, and it’s pretty neat

    I’ve been thinking that for a while. Issue is that it’s risky, if you fuck up there’s a pretty high chance that there are going to be a lot of houses with cracks in their walls (assuming you’re doing it in a relatively densely populated area that doesn’t normally see earthquakes).

      You mean, like fracking (for oil power) minus the poisoning groundwater part?

        We could just not use any power source that severely damages our environment. Solar and wind don’t have these issues to this extend, even if you include the necessary storage capacity (batteries, hydroelectric reservoirs) and include the resource use for building them.

        Though it’s not impossible to use geothermal energy without severely damaging the environment, you just need either a large amount of unsettled land (like Iceland) or you need to be really, really careful and limit the kinds of things you do - using geothermal energy for district heating apparently is a lot less likely to create earthquakes than what Iceland is doing.

      Any powerplant will usually done in a pretty isolated area for safety reason, so i’d assume the chance of it happen is very, very slim. If location isn’t permitted it’s probably shouldn’t be build, especially for the type that need to deep very deep to access the heat, so solar panel on roof is probably the best way for any power generation that is placed close or in the populated area.

        Here in Germany, that hasn’t been true at all so far. For starters, there aren’t any “pretty isolated areas” in the first place, since the entire country is pretty densely settled compared to e.g. Iceland. There are still some ongoing projects, though, IIRC they are usually being done for the purpose of district heating, which has to be near populated areas per definition. I think these types of projects aren’t as likely to create earthquakes as the ones for electricity in Iceland, though.

      dropping the latter assumption?

        why?

  Like solar panels converting photons to electrons?

    Like solar thermal powerplant or molten salt reactor, LAME.

    That’s why solarpunk is the coolest.

  Honey, go toss another plutonium pellet in the house slot, please.

    Let me guess, you need to boil some water?
