Seems like something you should also be doing given that sunshine is highly variable across the planet, but on the other hand the geothermal gradient can be exploited everywhere - and can be deployed below existing or new human structures as well as Ma Nature's ecosystems.

Well that would be another project. Improving solar panels would be a huge leap forward and more easily exploitable. Already many things use solar panels from flashlights to salt water desalination.

Cheap biological based solar panels would revolutionize the industry and lead a huge drive towards other green tech for not only power generation but other purposes.
