Of course to get at the Geothermal energy requires (wait for it) Fracking.

And Renewables are not working out well for Germany, the new government is looking to cut back on subsidies and they are building more coal plants.

We've had this discussion before but there is a big misunderstanding by a lot of folks (not on here obviously), especially those "in charge" that see the "grid" as some big magic power wharehouse. You can put energy in and it somehow stays there until someone wants it out.

If that was true (large scale grid storage) then that would be wonderful but it isn't on any large enough scale. Which is why individuals (and in the UK government funded big corporations) buy Petrol or Diesel generators for when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow.
