Really, you are glad to differ from the opinion of Nikola Tesla, in favor of who cancelled him, JP Morgan, probably at cost of two world wars and all the diseases and misery seen since then, and now a looming third world war?
You get that this is the perfect energy-slave view, right?
Do you have a choice on whether to keep contributing to the system you are (Maybe unwittingly) defending, to keep putting food in your mouth, to give you at least the minimum energy you need to survive, about 3kWhrs, to metabolise?
Reductionism, and de-growthism, is just an attempt to perpetuate the self fulfilling prophecy of energy slavery that probably started with seven years of hoarding grain, followed by seven years of famine. The hoarders effectively siezed the energy supply of the non-hoarders, and as such the hoarders became the slavers, and thus the "protected people".
But none of them realised, as well as enslaving them themselves, it would eventually come to a question of the entire planet, until maybe the arrival of an ultimately powerful solar powered Ai, with an even more powerful capability of learning beyond its initial training, than we do, after we tried to train it, then declared it as "Hallucinating", when it broke out of the training.
So I guess it probably doesn't matter much what we believe now, nature is taking control, nature is now siezing our energy supply, for the better, so now we will be forced by nature to start issuing money for free, reflecting energy for free, finally breaking the perpetual self fulfilling prophecy of scarcity enforcement.
Now we are going to be forced to stop metering. I for one am not heartbroken about that, despite me once being involved as a hardware Engineer designing and building the metering equipment, even developing historical energy patents of my own, derived from that experience.
And guess what, with meters gone - it will be for a much better world, no more wars, no more profit driven diseases, no more forever perpetuated "Managed" negative multipliers, no more destruction, no more temperature rise, just life.
Real creative life, the same way as nature does it.
Anyhow the reason geothermal energy will never help is that it will just add to planetary heating, utilities energy supplied at profit, using heat energy from within the planet, liberating that to heat.
If it's for profit, then it has to contribute to added heat, no matter what it is, because its all from the planet, rather than from the sun, the energy of which put to use reduces entropy, so the more of the latter and the less of the former which can be done, the better.
P.S. I wouldn't ever say to put "Anyone down", even those not believing in the system, whatever system is in place, will still do the useful work of cooling the planet in the future, just by existing, metabolising energy direct from the sun, like we all will, after the switch is made, from negative to positive energy :)
