In a few decades the Gores of the day will be complaining about how we are taking heat away from deep in the earth and moving it on to the surface with all of our geothermal plants.
Aye, there’s the rub: no energy source can be positively tapped without negatively affecting something else.
Wind farms? birds, weather, planetary rotation.
Solar panels? “solar strip mining”, shadowing vast areas.
Hydro? drowning land, cooling rivers.
Nuclear? waste storage.
Congressional hot air? deficit spending.
Geothermal? cooling the core.
etc.
Polypragmatons (governmental busybodies) will always exist. We need to stop putting up with them, for they will never be satisfied even if we give them what they want.
