Odd that every geothermal fields ever developed on earth each have a limited projected service life.
In fact some of them have already reached it.
They must be perpetual in the same sense as Jesus is eternal.
because they do not drill deep enough.
Right, it has nothing to do with the limited heat capacity of the rocks the water might come into contact with, so the rocks cool and lose ability to generate more steam after water has been circulating through them; nor the limited thermal conductivity of the rocks, so once the rock is cooled, it takes awfully long time for new thermal energy to conduct in and heat the rocks back up again; nor the fact that porosity and water permeability of rocks decrease with depth, so at certain depth water can no longer be forced through rocks regardless of pressure.
It's because they didn't drill deep enough.
Do you bottle your farts and smell them throughout the day for inspiration?
