Nice to see. The more clean methods of energy generation, the better.

Not a big fan of fracking of any kind. It causes sinkholes and other issues.

if you have deserts maybe, but here in France it causes too much damage on properties by inducing earthquakes that they had one project stopped (Vendenheim, France).

There's already one European founded research project near this one, in Soultz-sous-Forêts (Alsace, France) which is active, but missing new founding I think.

And now they will have a permit to collect lithium which makes you think that a new project could be a way to have a permit to dig and then make it easier to have a licence to collect lithium, which is more profitable.

But but but nookyaloor is the green future it's so safe we build reactors right in the middle of cities to reduce transmission line electric losses of up to 50% and we totally know how to dispose of the waste now we encase it in concrete that will never ever leak and sink it into the ocean

I am very smart
