surely, solar power is more reliable for hot countries like australia? why not stretch the recently very cheap (i'm told) solar material like a tent top to harvest energy and cool the desert underneath and make it habitable/irrigable with all that electrickery originating from the sun?

Minor hydrogen sulfide emissions, tiny risk of earth quakes. The risks of not having enough reliable electricity include death from exposure to the elements, damage to electrical devices, spoilage of frozen or chilled food, loss of productivity and income, loss of heavy industry(ask California), inabillity to guarantee timely health care and lack of alternatives to avoid liquifying coal as a transportation fuel and avoid the high death toll that results from coal particulate emissions.

I'm no fan about getting energy from earth'S magma. I first want to know what it's risks are - there have to be some!
