Geothermal energy in Taiwan and around the world

Aaaargh! Geothermal energy is limited by the very fact that you can not simply drill into the earth’s core to extract it. There is a finite supply of energy being transferred to the upper regions of the earth’s mantle. Its finite because everything else leads to a volcanic eruption!

And even those are limited in energy output, based on the pressure from the lower region of mantle plume that pushed those lava flows upwards to begin with.

Any halfway decent engineer knows about the planetary mechanics behind the heat transports from the regions surrounding the earth’s core to the planet’s surface. Heat can not be transported to the surface faster that is is being produced in its interior.

And it requires regions of weaker crust for that heat to reach the surface. Anything else and we’d all be sinking into a planet wide lava lake.

All these factors make the amount the energy you can extract from those regions absolutely finite. There are fixed numbers in existence for the energy output each geothermal field could maximally produce. And since regions of weaker crust are sparsely populated and have - for damn good reason - next to no industrial capacity located on them, transporting that energy to centers of dense human population and industry raises the cost of the whole undertaking significantly.

What the heck is wrong with people like you? You have no understanding of the technology nor any appreciation of the cost involved or of business necessity. But you got that pink colored pipe dream of Disney’s Bambi dancing in a circle with the vegan wolf and the quadruple gendered lion, with no smelly pollution source nearby. Yet your room is warm in winter and cool in summer. Your tablet is always fully powered and your refrigeration never runs on empty.

Its a myth, a fantasy., It has no relation to anything in real life. Its like Helen of Detroit. The face that launched a thousand cribs.

Its a fairy tale, not reality!
