"...geothermal is also not the panacea that you describe."
Like the failure of geothermal to reduce electricity rates in Hawaii (as Rob said, due to PUC) despite continuous talk about it doing just that, geothermal in Hawaii has also continued to have technical limitations demonstrating the fundamental reality of no free lunch.
There really may be too much hard-sell and over-promise coming out of the Geothermal Working Group.
