Drill More.. Natural Gas.. Clean Coal.... Why no geothermal????

I read an MIT report recently about geo thermal energy for the US and to me it appears that it's the very best option for long term... So why is everyone pushing for drilling more oil (non renewable), moving towards natural gas (non renewable), "clean" coal (non renewable plus it's actually dirty and costs more than geothermal), wind (subject to daily weather and long term climate changes), solar (subject to daily weather and long term climate changes) and bio-fuels (risk to food crops, subject to seasonal weather and long term climate changes).

This is for electrical energy generation for buildings, electric vehicles etc.
