Problem with geothermal is that mineral saturated water will fuzz up the
pipes in just a couple of years. While it's possible to rebore the deep
shafts, cleaning the rest of the equipment remains extremely problamatical.

And SSP isn't fantastically expensive. It's just 10x the cost because it's
10x the capacity. But some of the non-conventional nuclear reactors like
LFTR, ploywell and conventional fusion also look very promising.
