Who do you suppose pays for drilling oil wells (via tax exemptions)? If the government can afford to subsidize drilling for oil, why not drilling for heat?
The formations that lie around 12,000 feet below downtown Denver are the same ones that are exposed at the base of the foothills, at Red Rocks Park (Fountain Formation) overlying Precambrian Gneiss (Idaho Springs Formation)
Lots of volcanism in the past hereabouts, but today the closest hot spot is up yonder at Yellowstone. Yet another dumb Dem idea.
Easy Greg, we tell the oil and gas industry that already has the fucking equipment to diversify into geothermal heat for the subsidies they already have and waste daily/
How many times a year do you think they just hit hot water in Midland or Odessa and just cap the fucking well?
It's about efficiency for something they are already doing.
Some wells can only heat a home or a factory, others can run a plant that produces clean electricity,
another entrenched lobby that doesn't want to change or think outside the box.

Or... we can build more fossil fuel plants...
I've got a few suggestions on the fossils that need to be incinerated next ...
That makes better economic sense. Most governments, including ours, can't afford to develop or subsidize it.

No. Just China, the USA and Russia alone, spend over $7 Trillion annually in subsidies to help Big Oil
locate and extract crude oil and natural gas. Retail prices for unsubsidized gasoline would be between $13.00 and $17.00 per gallon.
Are you ready for that?
Where do we drill? How deep do they go?

If we are already spending that much to subsidize fossil fuel, where do the funds to search for, develop, and deliver geothermal come from?
