Recently had a conversation of space based solar power pros and cons screech to a halt when someone said "Well what about space based geothermal?"

What's the issue? If we can beam power down, we can beam it up!

More realistically, just drop a thermally conductive cable down to low solar orbit. Absolutely unlimited.

I guess from a certain perspective, all our sources of geothermal energy are already located in space
