The primary locations currently producing geothermal energy are concentrated in the western United States, particularly California, as well as countries like Iceland, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Zealand, El Salvador, and Kenya, where geothermal energy is a significant source of electricity generation due to their volcanic activity and geological conditions that allow for easy access to heat from the Earth's core.

sure, there are other hot spots on earth. Iceland is the only place where all power comes from geothermal. They also use it for hot water and baking. Iceland is an amazing place.

Thermal works in Iceland, but no where else..

Um, uh,..

sure, there are other hot spots

So much so Led Zeplin wrote a song about it.

Correct. I think his point was more about scale of operations. Geothermal energy is great but it's not without issues. It's like everything else, it has a role to play.

hydro works where there are mountains, dams, and rivers. Thermal works in Iceland, but no where else..

your naivete is legend, and you prove it with every post.

Wrong Hydro and / or thermal works where there is water….you aren’t that bright. Anyone with acces to ground water has access to free renewables. Your funny. You think thermal dynamics only applies to high heat ?

Simpleton. We have hydro power where ever there is direct or indirect access to the ocean…..since the ocean covers 71% of earths surface, tides and currents are now being developed as energy sources.

Ha ha
You are Hilarious. Geo thermal is used in nearly every developed country in the world.

Wow, you are stupid, thinking fuel plants are free ? Wind miles cost less per kWh to manufacture and no fuel after. The oil companies are starting to use renewables now to run refineries idiot, you clowns are ignorant.

Horse-manure! Each windmilll uses 50 gallons of oil as lubricant EVERY year, moron. No oil company uses "renewables" to run a refinery.

China has made significant investments in solar power capacity in recent years, while its coal power sector has seen a decline:

• Coal
  China has the world's highest installed capacity of coal power plants, with a combined capacity of 1,147.23 gigawatts as of July 2024. However, the amount of coal power added in 2024 is expected to be much lower than the amount of wind and solar power added. In the first half of 2024, only 8 gigawatts of coal power was added, compared to over 100 gigawatts of wind and solar power added annually since 2020.
  
  
  
• Solar
  China's solar power capacity has grown rapidly in recent years, from 4.2 gigawatts in 2012 to over 609 gigawatts in 2023. China is a leader in the global construction of renewable energy sources, including solar and wind. In 2023, China installed record amounts of solar generation, and this momentum continued into the first three months of 2024.
  
  
  
• Government policies
  The Chinese government has implemented stricter restrictions on new coal projects to meet its carbon reduction goals. The government is phasing out smaller coal plants, upgrading existing ones, and enforcing more stringent standards for new projects.
  
  
  
• Environmental impact
  Solar power is a more optimal resource than fossil fuels in terms of environmental impact.

Phillips 66 Converts Oil Refinery to Produce Only Renewable Fuel - ESG Today

Energy products manufacturer Phillips 66 today announced that it has converted its San Francisco oil refinery in Rodeo, California to process only renewable feedstocks, and is now producing approximately 30,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel, with the commercial-scale production marking a...

Dufus, the oil is not burned ignoramus , it’s lubricant for an 8,000 kWh windmill. Enough for 8-10 homes for an entire year…..on 50 gallons ha ha….
What stupidity on your part.

Calm down. I wasn't even talking to you. Phillips66 San Francisco claims to now be using "only renewable" (as opposed to fossil) "feedstocks." That's great news. Be happy now.

final answer, there is nowhere in the world where thermal works as well as it does in Iceland. There are other spots where it works, but nowhere to the extent that it does in Iceland.

Iceland is the only place where all power comes from geothermal.

Iceland doesn't get all of its power from geothermal. Otherwise fine FAIC. From Google AI / The Guardian:

This statement is not entirely accurate; while Iceland heavily utilizes geothermal energy, it does not solely rely on it for all its power - they also generate a significant portion of their electricity from hydropower, meaning not all their power comes exclusively from geothermal sources.
