The problem with geothermal is that it produces earthquaues. The 2 mile deep well in Basel almost shook the town apart and had to be abandoned. Geothermal becomes a NIMBY and must be located in areas inhabited by the poor such as Indian reservations and not along the San Andreas fault in California. This means long transition lines from the less inhabited parts of the west to cities and the loss of the pacific ring of fire area of high heat potential. The good news is that the water that comes up from magma deposits is rich in gold, silver etc. This can be extracted from the water and produces a valuable byproduct. You can reopen the Virginia city comstock load using geothermal extraction of hot water.

One of the negatives about geothermal power is of the extreme corrosiveness of the steam or water. This requires that the circulating system be made of special and expenive materials. A geothermal system requires lots of maintenance. Without a significant subsidy from the government (taxpayers), does it really compete with the normal steam-electric generation or nuclear?

I admit that my experience is from 15-20 years ago, so possibly these problems may already been resolved.
