The only problem I keep coming up against is the AMOUNT of energy generated Per plant when it comes to Geothermal. From everything I have read typical yeilds are roughly between 90 to 100 MWs which is only 1/10 of the power produced from 1 nuclear plant.
I think that in itself is the problem.. Geothermal .. while useful is certain places does not produce enough energy to run everything we need.
So ..... Lets whip out the caculator. So... 100,000/.2 = 500,000 - 100,000 = 400,000/100 OHH DAMNN!!! We would need 4000 Geo thermal plants to run current electric to be completely carbon free. HOLY SMOKES!!! ok .. so NO!!! ok lets say that was fesablie and we found 4000 locations nation wide.
And we rather check up on just how much we would have to spend per plant

ok so... plug in the math $2800PerKW*100,000 = 280 MILLION OMG?!?!?! roflmao!!
but wait.. its gets better.... so... 280 Million*1000 plants = 280 trillion dollars.. more then 6 times the nation DEBT HAHHAHHAHAHHA....
Any questions ?!?!
((god I hope i did the math right or else I just might have proved Sil's case 
))
