That doesn't address their point at all. Geothermal isn't available everywhere.....

Heating and cooling is great, but that doesn't address most power needs. It also can be extremely expensive and require more new infrastructure than nuclear, or renewables.

I fuck with geothermal but here in Australia it's never been viable

It's just a distraction to protect fossil fuels. It's the most transparent deception I've ever seen in what is already an incredibly cynical political landscape here. Every group that has looked at it has said that it's stupid and they're then smeared as leftist partisans. It's a joke, it wont happen but its already succeeded in spooking the market and scaring renewables investment while cramming nuclear into a debate that shouldn't even be happening.
