Most likely exploiting geothermal energy on a large scale is damaging to our planet! What are the negative consequences of forcefully cooling the interior of our planet? Could well become another manmade disaster!
Caution should be the modus operandi when it comes to large scale energy production involving geothermal energy.
Perhaps, the active volcanic Nordic island of Iceland famously could do that successfully over decades if not centuries without serious repercussions. However, this country has today less than 400,000 inhabitants. It sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
"A startup based in Texas has announced a key milestone in geothermal energy. This new technology could finally bring large-scale geothermal energy to the masses [???]. The company, Fervo Energy, successfully completed a 30-day test at its pilot plant in Nevada. The team drilled 2.3 kilometers into the Earth’s surface in order to pump water and obtain clean energy reliably. ..."
