In most places you'd have to drill to deep for it to be economical, But in places with lots of volcanic activity it's very doable. Iceland get 30% of its electricity from geothermal energy.

The working fluid can be things other than water. Propane has been used. Old refrigeration systems sometimes used ammonia. |

(Page 2) And, consider that east of the Mississippi river there are a bunch of dams already built that DO NOT have hydroelectric generation. What that means is you don't have to justify and build the dam - just retrofit an existing dam. |
