Erneuerbare Energien+Batterien haben die Nuklearindustrie fast ausgelöscht, jetzt könnte die geothermische Kraft den letzten Nagel in diesen Sarg geben. Neue Forschung im Natur Magazine veröffentlicht Die Bohrzeiten der Shows fallen so schnell, dass bis 2027 Geothermie in der Lage sein wird, eine geringen Kosten für Strom für 80 MWh zu liefern. Das ist Preis, der mit Nuklear wettbewerbsfähig ist, aber das ist nicht der wahre Mörder der Nuklearindustrie.
Obwohl einige Standorte (wie Island) für Geothermie sehr geeignet sind, sind auch viele Orte in Ordnung. Geothermie kann weltweit weit verbreitet werden – wichtiger kann es schnell und zu einem zuverlässigen Budget gebaut werden.
Das einzige überlebende Argument der Nuklearindustrie war, dass es Basislastleistung liefern konnte – aber auch Geothermie. Es wird nun für Investoren und Regierungen weitaus attraktiver sein, als neue Atomkraft aufzubauen, was möglicherweise eine Branche sein kann, die in die letzten Phasen ihrer Todesspirale eingehen kann.
Geothermal power may be about to kill the Nuclear Energy industry. Drilling costs are falling so fast, by 2027 it will be able to provide baseload electricity at the same price – but unlike nuclear power, it can be built quickly and on budget.

I read somewhere there might be concerns that pumping water below ground might cause tremors. Can I get a quick rundown of geothermal’s cons?
That gives me hope, that the downfall of civilisation will be a bit less cruel and violent.
Sounds like what they are trying at The Eden Project. Definitely one to watch. https://www.edengeothermal.com/the-project/phase-1/
There is a mention of oilfield drilling projects. Is this related to fracking specifically or is it more general?
Not a single deep geothermal pilot has managed to keep a reservoir open at depth after drilling deep enough to produce electricity. It’s not impossible, but drilling is not the problem – high overburden pressure reservoir engineering is.
The sad thing is, that dFt is going to block this, just as off shore wind and solar and storage has been blocked
It is all about creating state – mandated monopolies –0 that are subsidized by taxpayers
Am I the only one that is wondering why OP is beating the “death of Nuclear” narrative so intensely, as opposed to just stating what this is… a research paper about geothermal.
>With further development of EGS to manage induced seismicity risk and increase system flexibility, EGS could provide stable baseload and potentially dispatchable electricity in clean energy systems.
I wonder if this will have the same impact as fears of nuclear melt down.
All it takes is a good earthquake in a zone where these have been built and even the best science won’t convince many geothermal didn’t cause the quake.
It’s also a risk that would be passed on to the taxpayer with that being an increase in insurance costs or damage to uninsured properties.
I hope I’m wrong.
Fervo energy. https://www.volts.wtf/p/enhanced-geothermal-power-is-finally
The biggest drawback is uncertainty. Even with current technology, you can’t guarantee a specific power output. And even then you can’t tell if you are possibly draining the system too much, getting it colder.
But still, good news.
where exactly are you going to put this other than wyoming in the US
For now its ok on a small scale.
Not in a big way all over the world.
Not a good idea to get heat out from the inside of oure planet (en get colder back in).
In the long run we cant risk cooling the inside and feck with the magnetic field
Whatever it takes to get off fossil fuels. We can’t sustain our current route
I have always wondered why this isn’t developed out. Literally endless energy (heat) is beneath us at all times.
