There’s enough geothermal energy below ground to power the entire country. Some are trying to tap it — by using techniques from the fracking boom. (www.nytimes.com)

I’ve read the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. First you start out getting geothermal power, and the next thing you know we’ve yeeted the moon and the planet is trying to kill us. Just you wait.

(But seriously read that trilogy if you haven’t and you like SciFi/Fantasty, it’s fantastic. First book is The Fifth Season.)
