The high natural-gas costs have been the overwhelming reason plants have closed. It's completely depressed the whole area...
...into the boiling underground reserves for making energy (in fact, Tuscany remained the only industrial producer of geothermal electricity until 1958, when New Zealand opened a steam power plant), it was the first to see its underground reserves begin depleting, after registering a significant drop in steam pressure output. A closer study revealed that underground liquid reserves had fallen by 30% from the maximum levels of the 1950s. "We began reaching the boundaries and had to confront the problem of sustainability for the first time," Cappetti explains...

Overall, the world's geothermal capacity has doubled to about 8,000 MW in the past two decades, with facilities in 20 countries and an annual production of 50 billion kW-h of electricity. Though its output still trails hydropower production, the cost of geothermal tends to run about the same, though it can run higher depending on the discovery of resources and the size of the project. But Enel is also one of the main players in a sort of ongoing Manhattan Project for geothermal. Experts...
