1. Proven Technology
Geothermal energy exists and has been working since the 1950s, there are several countries that get a large part of their production from this perfect source of environmentally friendly energy.
In Iceland, 26% of electricity is generated by geothermal energy. These power plants process steam and water, the steam is used to generate electricity and the water for household heating. In Belgium there is a (test) power plant, which proves that geothermal electricity works anywhere in the world.
2. Independence
Geostrategic developments have made it clear to policymakers that energy independence is important. The Technology exists, let's get things done!
Several studies, and logical reasoning, point to obvious possibilities of geothermal energy in Southern Europe and Central America. Etna, Stromboli, and recently the eruptions on La Palma suggest that there is heat underground there. Let's make work of exploring these regios.
3. Grid stabilisation
Due to its high uptime, geothermal energy production is perfect for grid stabilization alongside other technologies, it can work hybridly with solar and wind.
