Advanced geothermal is cool. I think it’s promising because it solves the issues around low carbon baseload.Encouraging. And for that reason, Trump will attack this.

The limitations are twofold: it is limited to locations with sufficient thermal gradient (the west), it only produces electricity.
From a technical standpoint, open questions remain. They still need to bring costs down (they will), they also need to solve well spacing, and how much fluid and proppant is required to to stimulate the wells. These are the same questions that plagued the oil industry while they incinerated capital figuring out how to make shale profitable. It’s not an easy question, took oil and gas 13 years.
