How many gas wells are punched for every gas turbine? Apparently there are about 500GW of natural gas power stations in America and 90000 producing gas wells, and 40% of that is for electric power, so 15MW per hole in the ground.

And with the assumption that geothermal wells can last longer (the wells for my geothermal HVAC system were rated 50+ years, although I presume my wells and the types of wells needed for a 400MW plant are far different) then this is actually pretty decent.
