We really should be going all in on geothermal

Reporter at Drop Site News, co-host at Breaking Points/Counter Points

We converted from oil to geothermal ~12 years ago when we renovated our house and have been very happy with the decision

all in everything, especially solar + hydro (multi-use)

Geothermal really doesn't seem to have dramatic downsides that I'm aware of.  We have the technology, we have the skillsets and resources from the oil and gas industry, you can build it anywhere if you go deep enough and it can be scaled up or down for community builds.
