About geothermal energy

 After the 3-11 disaster, many people in Japan started to feel uneasy about using nuclear power plant to get their electricity. So, I believe it is a great idea to use the geothermal energy to generate the power plants. Yet, I heard that nuclear power generation is 120 times more efficient then the  thermal power generation and we wouldn't have enough energy without somehow relying on nuclear power. Although Iceland cosists Japan on using geothermal energy, we don't have the time and money to do so. Even if the geothermal energy is more clean and safe, it would take many many years to build the more expensive generators enough to supply the same amount as today. This does that mean that I'm against building geothermal power plant but I think that Japan can't change it suddently and that we should gradually change the way we get our electricity. Iceland minister do have a point and I'm aware that Japan is a bit lazy so I don't blame him for saying harsh things about making geothermal power plant. Japan should have listened to Iceland long time ago.
