There are many types of geothermal. You can have a geothermal heat pump that uses air from the outside, you could have a geothermal system that uses ground water, etc. but they require electricity to run. You could also generate electricity if you can find a spot where the earth's temperature is above 70 degrees C. This is almost impossible to find. The hot springs in the Kootenays would not work because they generated by radium (radioactive decay). The only place in BC that has been studied is Meager Creek west of Pemberton, and they've spent millions drilling down a couple of km to find the heat, but so far they have not been able to get to the stage where they can extract the energy viably. Maybe in 30 years they will have something. Even still, this will be a drop in the bucket in terms of what we need for power.

Yes, and we are. Been on the Okanagan connector lately? Even still, there are no other clean sources that provide base power besides hydro. You cannot generate enough power by wind and solar to electrify the automobiles.

In addition Cactusflower, I should have stated that I do not deny that the weather/climate has been and is changing or more appropriately is actively being manipulated and used to create what APPEARS TO BE "naturally occurring" weather/climate change.

One of the biggest lies that the Big Green agenda has been able to push successfully is that Wind and Solar are "green". They are anything but green. Just like electric cars. "Zero emissions" my butt. Did these cars just materialize out of thin air? Such a scam.

This link was provided on another thread, but I think it has a place here as well. Of course, the usual suspects will call it a 'scam' because it doesn't fit their agenda.

Why would someone call this a scam? I don't get what you're saying.

Climate Change is in the top three priorities of 13% of Canadians, meaning it is probably the top priority of 4% of Canadians. If government wants to make climate change their #1 priority then they are not representing 96% of the population and have their own taxation agenda.

It appears to me that you didn't read the whole article. Those who did would likely rate climate change and education among their top priorities.

When presented with a long list of policy issues, only 13 per cent of Canadians chose climate change as one of their top three worries, according to an Ipsos poll provided exclusively to Global News. Forty per cent of Canadians chose health care, and 39 per cent chose unemployment. Climate change even ranked below crime and education.

who cares if it is a "priority"? What does this even mean? If you really wanted to make it a "priority", for the sole reason for virtue signaling to like-minded lunatics, that's great, but what is the cost/benefit of forcing 35 million people to suffer by adopting enviro-nut policies and insane taxation? What is the point of it? Just for a warm feeling in your tummy? Is that it? So you can have a glow in your tummy? Is that glow worth billions spent for no gain to anyone? I don't think so.
