Perhaps you do. Enhanced geothermal isn't what you've got in Iceland, it's quite different.
Democrats recently passed over $600B of renewable incentives that will draw much more in private investment into play, so we do have steps.
Lots of details in this podcast and this podcast.

Would you prefer we kill worker's families by not transitioning to renewable energy?
Go talk to families living near fracking sites in western PA. Sure there are some jobs, typically taken by people coming from out of state, but also lots of asthma, cancer, and other maladies all while spitting more global warming methane into the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, there are a fast growing number of jobs in and around renewables. Some of those will be building enhance geothermal generation facilities, jobs very much the equal of fracking without the very significant health and environmental problems. And that's not to mention the trillions of $ we will all save using ever cheaper renewable energy.

Does it really matter who "won" given the radically different positions they hold on critical issues?
Oz lobbied for & gladly accepted Trump's endorsement, said abortion is murder during the primary, and is a pretty shameless carpet-bagger.
Fetterman supports workers rights, at least a $15 minimum wage, legalizing cannabis and the right to decide when/how to have a family.

Of course you don't, but we do and it will employ many thousands of people. Thanks for that article, but it's (mostly) not what we will be doing here.
Nuclear has a future only if it can be done in a way to get on a learning curve. Otherwise it will remain too expensive and too slow to implement.
That's false. We are building out solar and wind now while developing & commercializing new options.
My most recent client is an electric construction company in the process of more than doubling in size (again) from $200M to $500M, with transmission lines, substations and grid solar array installation as their primary growth areas with lots of good paying union jobs.
