“This road is long, and much of the map remains blank. The biggest problem is drilling miles through hot rock, safely. If scientists can do that, however, next-generation geothermal power could supply clean energy for eons.”

    France is also 80-90% nuclear from memory, so less demand for other renewables?

    But valid point, its never that simple :(

      More something like 50% nuclear, 40% renewable, but we also sell lot of nuclear electricity to Germany. Hydraulic is very well used. We have hydrolic power plant everywhere it’s possible. Not many people know this. “Hell ya, why don’t we build more hydrolic plant ?!” Well, because we already did 😅
