Reply to comment by platoprime in Geothermal May Beat Batteries for Energy Storage: Enhanced geothermal systems are well suited to store excess renewable power as heat. by filosoful
Yes. Because we can't make the entire planet a hydroelectric dam. Dams are great! but they require lots of fresh water.
Geothermal and hydroelectric power are both incredibly low carbon sources of electric power and potential energy storage mechanisms. It makes sense to use both depending local economics and logistical constraints.
