> Geothermal energy source found in Presidio County, Texas

Contrary to the clickbait title, the article included the key point in the first bullet point.

I'm getting suspicious of the geothermal hype. Is there demonstrated competitiveness on LCOE basis with wind/solar? Lazard's report is basically spitballing the values.

I think there is potential, but the fact that any sort of development basically goes through the oil/gas industry for their drilling makes me think that geothermal is just oil/gas plotting "don't deploy that wind/solar that is dirt cheap, waste money on this geothermal thing, and especially send us money to spin wheels in the dirt".

I get that geothermal won't have intermittency, so that would be good at least.

Geothermal may well have intermittency too, because of repeated instances of earthquake triggering though.
