    The power usage wouldn’t be a problem if the electricity were generated in a green way.

    If only the energy sector had a workforce experienced in building offshore structures that could build offshore wind farms. And maybe a workforce that had experience in drilling that could develop geothermal energy.

    Of course we also need an energy sector that had a lot of financial resources to put into these kinds of investments.

    If only the energy sector had these kinds of resources, a big sphere drawing a lot of electricity wouldn’t be a problem.

      As an industry insider, can tell you old oil and gas wells are being converted to geothermal where possible. There is lots of innovation in the works!
