Please understand, that unless your geothermal is really good, people will
successfully complain about earthquakes caused by geothermal energy, bath in
Basel, and Bavaria, if I remember right? Plus, the replacement tech that are
proposed, must provide terawatts of energy, to replace the dirty. Hot rock
geothermal, really deep geothermal, might solve all this, and instead of water
as a working fluid to provide super-heated steam to run turbines, a working
fluid like propane or methane has been proposed, or even air. The carbon fuels
are captured over and over again for re-use. How costly, this is, how
environmental, how technically doable-I don't know.

much much more energy than today's needs, so it could serve as

I assume you mean geothermal energy. It is used in New Zealand but
doesn't provide as much energy as wind and hydro as far as I know.
It's an option in some parts of the world, certainly, but I would say
solar is more readily available overall.
It might blend well with solar. There have been proposals to store
solar energy by heating underground reservoirs.
