Hello all, I'm not an expert on geothermal but it is not exactly as cheap as mentioned in the Trib article. The environment down there is very corrosive to the equipment. Some of the water that comes up the tubes is very harmful to the environment at the surface. It apparently is difficult to deal with that. Here is an article that seems to be a balanced view. http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Geothermal_energy There really are a lot of choices and each one has problems.
