Difficulties with wind generation of electricity include:

• finding a location with just the right conditions

• transporting the electricity from where it's generated to where it's needed

• adapting supply to fluctuation in demand

• low efficiency together with high cost

The single main difficulty with geothermal generation of electricity is:

• finding a location with just the right conditions

• transporting the electricity from where it's generated to where it's needed

• adapting supply to fluctuation in demand

• low efficiency together with high cost
