Sorry, but geothermal IS using nuclear energy directly. The indirect method is to dig up uranium, thus spreading the radiation around far and wide, then you enrich it... spreading the radiation even further.... then it is shoved into an uneconomical WMD bomb of a nuclear plant....all the while using up massive amounts of energy and taxpayer dollars in the process. Geothermal is being investigated using private money. -- Regards, Gregory. "Ding-a-ding-dang,My Dang-a-long ling-long"
