Supercritical geothermal is similar to talking about the economics of fusion. There is a DOE enhanced geothermal test site near the Newberry Volcano in central Oregon which has temperatures close to this range at reachable depths. That is more of a demonstration site for drilling technology.

Yes, but if (as I am claiming) there's no way to economically turn heat into electricity, it's irrelevant whether supercritical geothermal steam costs trillions of dollars per borehole or is free; either way it's uneconomic as a source of electricity.
