«Il y a de nombreuse critiques et limites potentielles. Avec [certains] paris plausibles tenus, il est raisonnable d’anticiper que la géothermie profonde en boucle fermée puisse s’améliorer fortement et devenir une source d’énergie baseload majeure, potentiellement dominante en termes d’émissions évitées et de fiabilité.

Nobody cares about security. There. I said it. I said the thing everyone feels, some people think, but very few have the temerity to say out loud. But before you call me...
