What is the effect of the temperature gradient on electricity generation? Is it actually plausible that geothermal could be built in Britain with current technology, or is it more of a hopeful tech, relying on something like the Qaise project coming to fruition?
Very much hopeful. This is why I suggest £300 million spread over over multiple years, with a focus on international collaboration. Viability in other countries could be much greater than in Britain. In which case, this can be seen as an international decarbonization subsidy.
