“…Reinjection also counters land subsidence, since the subsurface volume and pressure are better maintained. Finally there is a problem, as with solar and wind energy, of land use consumption, which reduces agricultural production and displaces farm workers (Pick et al 1985). However, that reduction, mostly from a plant's spaced drill sites, is less than for solar plants having extensive photovoltaic panels and mirrors.…”

“…Externalities investigated included the land area and consequent labor force displaced from a geothermal production field by a geothermal power plant, and its drill sites. For instance, for a 100MW power plant, the projected number of displaced farmworkers varied between 9 and 50 by year 2020 (Pick et al 1985). A public opinion survey concerned citizens' understanding of geothermal energy, extent of information about it, regulation, perceived environmental problems, and issues of land ownership.…”
