What makes you think geothermal is only from nuclear decay? The core is hot because of the forces the moon puts on it as well.

- Retric 4y agoYea, there’s also leftover energy from the earth’s formation. Nuclear decay + moon + sun (tides and sunlight) + residual heat together all contribute to the amount of available energy.
- Gravityloss 4y agoNothing. I used those words to distinguish from the other kind of shallow geothermal in nongeologically active areas.
