Yes, geothermal is a very good energy source, though such installations
always seem to attrack the doom and gloom NIMBY types who fear you are
going to accidentally birth a volcano in their backyard, or that any
steam released is going to adversely affect the environment...
rationality never seems to prevail with these people, but I must say
that it seems that rival energy utilities are generally the culprits
that fund the fearmongers.
