If you include mining and fuel supply lines (life-cycle footprint), nuclear requires uranium mining and milling. Natural gas requires massive networks of pipelines and hundreds of scattered well pads. EGS requires zero external fuel mining. Its "fuel" is the Earth itself, meaning its life-cycle land footprint stays almost entirely confined to the initial drilling site. In other words: when considering the entire life cycle, its total land footprint is among the smallest of any baseload power source.
