You don't have to go all the way in to be able to obtain energy. Hawaii and Iceland both have geothermal power generation facilities; it's very doable.
Maintenance costs overrun any efficiency gains by using geothermal even under optimal conditions, so unless there's other reasons to use it, ideological or economic, most companies will stick to the local grid.
There are some really cool innovations with graphene coatings generating power as hot saltwater flows over it, simplifying power generation by basically creating giant linear convection flows(, as well as graphene coatings on bits to increase durability.) The technology has a ways to go to compete with solar or coal or gas if grid proximity isn't a problem.
Everyone has their preferred method of cat skinning, and as long as the cat is separated from its skin in the end you've achieved your goal. Use the tool you're most familiar with unless your goal is to learn a new tool.
Its like a stock market crash, one day everything is fine, the next its the beginning of the great depression. Welcome to the world of speculation, I hope you enjoy your stay in the house of cards.
The "only" thing left? Housing/land has long been the most durable store of value in history and that wont change. It's not as liquid as Crypto and requires laws to enforce private property. But if society collapses, we'll have bigger things to worry about and even Bitcoin can be "seized" via violence/coercion.
Ah yes, the FBI was in on it to help the DNC, that's why they nuked Hilary's chances days before the election, that's some 5D chess right there, how could I be so foolish.
was about to comment the same thing. I teach future teachers, and I always say that_ everyone forgets their school math and chemistry lessons after cramming for the test. What sticks is learning how to survive in an unequal, dysfunctional system where you're the oppressed class, fighting among each other while you can't touch the people in power.
This is how 95% of the world works. In most countries, people are conditioned to "join" the rulers from a very young age, and people who use critical thinking are a tiny minority (often invisible)
