"Klamath Falls Geothermal District Heating"

"The economic value of the geothermal district heating system to the community is clearly significant. The other question is whether the revenue to the system operator is adequate to cover costs. The city cannot charge the full value of conventional energy, or there would be no incentive for customers to connect."

This bureaucratic smallthink probably explains the snail-pace of development despite great enthusiasm and some very innovative direct uses of low temperature geothermal in the area going back as far as the late 19th century.

The fossil fuel behemoths previously and today's billion-dollar crackpot pushers of expensive intermittent energy have delayed a green economy to some indefinite distant future while baseload ["nearly always on"] energy is most everywhere languishing in the dark.
