curiousity question: does removing the heat from a geothermal well create unintendeed side effects?

Unlikely. If we are able to pull too much heat from crust it will make those geothermal plants inoperable (due to too low temperature), in that localized spot, long before we are able to impact wider area or deeper layers.

What largest war in Europe since 1945 ? Ha, you speak about the war between Russia and the US and friends You are correct. Perhaps deal with all these people in the same way ? It starts with Biden and ends with countless others, all of which are equally guilty, all of which are fuelling a war needlessly.

Biden? the war started in 2014, with inclusion of not so secretive anymore of regular russian military. continued in 2015, etc. How is that Biden at all? The only person who fuel this war is Putin. I used to be a russian citizen, I speak russian, i know the society, etc. This war is extremely unpopular in russia, but the only reason why it is still ongoing is one man.

He says that nato provoked the war and make sure no peace was found

Is that conflict a proxy war ? That would be the first time the US did that .. :)

> Nuclear is contained Except when it de-contains itself.

I would put all the “nuke is safe” ppl in an island alongside the reactor and go back every 100 years to check if they went Atlantis or not yet… I get that it’s a a form of clean energy and we kind of need that in the EU but a remote, “protected”, isolated location would be my first choice.

Sure? With the continual modern improvements and safety engineering and education, I'll live right at the nuke if you'd like.

Every plant doesn't operate in a silo (well, it does in a physical sense), the operating knowledge and expertise is shared far and wide to help keep another Three Mile Island or another Fukushima from happening. I enjoy watching the training in action from the control room simulators.[1]

Just let me hunker down in the FLEX shelter when the time comes.

This article is literally about geothermal and all people can talk about is nuclear, solar. Why aren't we building geothermal energy plants everywhere?

What? For the same reason we don't build hydro plants everywhere, they depend on local conditions and all best spots are already used. Iceland can access geothermal power in entire country so they did.

“All best spots are already used”, is not even close to true for the US. We have barely begun to explore and evaluate potential sites and I see this as a huge future growth industry

Do you even believe in this nonsense ?

Putin self confirmed and bragging about "new territory". It's a classical Imperialistic war, old fart decided to restore their USSR greatness, and now they act. They did it in Chechnya, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine. Sure, it's all NATO.

And yes, it did start like a proxy war by russia, to avoid severe sanctions. They funded and send troops to such called Donetsk republic etc.

It was such a great proxy war from the west that up until certain tine of the conflict they didn't dare to send even medical equipment, not to talk about any other weapons, to do not provoke russia.

It started with a group of terrorist snipers in the Hotel Ukraina who fired randomly into a crowd of civilians. None of them were ever prosecuted. The attempt to pin it on the Berkut failed miserably. One of them was identified by a Ukrainian war hero as Andriy Parubiy, far right nut and future speaker of the rada. Several of them identified themselves as Georgian mercenaries who were hired by Andriy Parubiy. The goa…

Sources, sick imagination.

That corruptionist was not "overwhelmingly popular". It was of the political party that is popular, not more not less.

It was all orchestrated by Russia. You can find tons of videos of russian hero's of that time, and they openly confirm now, that regular military was in Crimea, Donetsk , etc, since 2014. This is not some "leaked" phone. It's many interviews openly sitting on youtube and confirming with smiles their actions.

>Sources, sick imagination.

All of that evidence can be verified with a quick google.

>That corruptionist was not "overwhelmingly popular".

In Crimea and the Donbass he undeniably was. Election figures confirm this. Again, a quick google would confirm this.

>It was all orchestrated by Russia.

The source for this definitely IS imagination.

>You can find tons of videos of russian hero's of that time, and they openly confirm now, that regular military was in Crimea, Donetsk , etc,

Of course. Just as many "patriotic western" soldiers ended up fighting for Ukraine, many "patriotic Russians" ended up fighting in the donbass.

But they were cancelled for similar reasons based on fears fueled by Russian propaganda.

So the Fukushima disaster and US polluted ground water are Russian propaganda for you?

What about the >100.000 Ukrainians killed with bombs and bullets paid for by German energy policy?

Cumulative radioactivity emitted by German coal as a result of the ban on nuclear is likely higher than the amount of radioactivity spread by the Fukushima disaster. We can also add lung issues and other pollution of the environment caused by soot.

Just 6.5% of German electricity was generated through coal last year. By contrast Poland was ~90% for years and only just slipped below 50%. If I had to guess why Poland never got any criticism for that while Germany was routinely pilloried by certain flavors of propaganda I would hypothesize that it was because Poland weren't humiliating the nuclear industry by swapping them with solar panels and wind turbines at 1/…

That number is clearly wrong. The german term "Kohle" includes the english "coal" (Steinkohle) and "lignite" (Braunkohle). The real number is >20%.

> the Fukushima disaster Germany doesn't experience magnitude 7+ earthquakes on the regular... or at all for that matter. It 100% is manufactured fears

In the mean time, we've sponsored the Russian war of aggression, flooding Europe with violence that led to the death of over a hundred thousand, disabled half a million, displaced 10 million, and destroyed houses and infrastructure worth hundreds of billions.
