A spin-off of fusion research, "millimeter wave drilling," is opening up places that previously would not have been considered for Geo.
It permits drilling by vaporizing rock to a depth of 20 KM at a temperature of 600 °C.
As to Green Hydrogen, as the cost of wind and solar has come down, the attractiveness of Green Hydrogen goes up. Using green energy to make green energy.
Do any of the major parties in Ireland support nuclear or have factions within them that do so?

It will likely be quicker and less expensive to embrace Geothermal and Green Hydrogen than Nuclear. Both have also made recent progress.
