Most of the renewable electric generators have the problem of fluctuating outputs compared to fossil based electric generators. I thought what if we build wind turbines to the areas with constant thermal difference not utilized before. Geothermal and lava flowing volcanic areas can be a good place to build wind farms.
Vertical wind turbines can be mounted on a suspension bridge crossing the Heat Zone. Constant thermal difference would create continuous air flow which is enough for vertical wind turbines.
In lava flowing areas, the lava flow should be directed like in hydroelectric plants. It can be done by blasting certain areas to assist the flow. So that lava would not damage the bridge's legs. For example, Hawaii has the highest electric generation cost among all the States. After such projects they would considerably lower their cost.
