    Would geothermal work? I can’t think of any particular reason that the heat of the earth should vary much with time (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in this assumption), and energy production should be more controllable because to my understanding it generally just makes steam for a turbine like more traditional power sources.

      Geothermal is really expensive in most parts of the world. It costs a lot of money to drill deep enough and to have enough capacity.
