Renewable green energy is often criticized for its unreliability. This makes it difficult to use it for base-load power generation. Next to that, renewable energy systems usually have a huge up-front cost, which makes their implementation difficult. Many critics therefore sight against the use of renewable energy. While many renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind power, don’t have a constant energy output, geothermal power is far more reliable.

Now, geothermal power may be able to jump start renewable green energy by overcoming one of its biggest expenses: the cost of boring holes into the earth.
