The US is going big on Geothermal. It will spend $7 Billion on geothermal energy sources to power it’s military installations. The Pentagon has been pushing renewables for some time, with Paterus explaing everywhere climate change is no joke.
Geothermal energy taps the heat caused by nuclear degradation of our earths crust
The US Navy already developed technology to make fuels uit of ocean water and electricity, so it seems after 40 years of studying the problem some choices have been made. Wars will remain possible even if there’s no reason anymore because we all live of abundant renewables.
Using water, electricity and CO2 one can make almost any hydrocarbon. Similar to Powe to Gas
Strategically Geothermal is a better option than Wind because the powerplants are more difficult to destroy in a conflict. Also there’s a need to cool the crust a bit as Earthquakes have been more frequent, due to removing massive amounts of ice from the Poles (equivalent to several cubic kilometers of water), also causing more vulcanic eruptions.
Our planet goes to shit but Noooo! don’t touch the Koch Brothers, BP, Exxon, Shell or the other culprits!
As the free market rages on like a brushfire, wasting valuable energy needed for a smooth transition on ever more climate destroying pollution, the armies can’t afford such foolishness. Once geothermal energy can be converted to diesel or ethanol fuel for new geothermal drilling sites, the cap will come of this resource. Better start now.
