Look for one of these thermal vents and stuff them down it as close as you can get without being turned into a lobster:
The coordinates for this one, if you know how to use them, are: -64, -30, -430. Conveniently, a good base location in Safe Shallows is right over the (underwater) hill as you face away from the Aurora. Locate it far enough away that you don't get the thundering roar of the vent going off every few seconds constantly while inside your base, it only takes a few power transmitter pylons. If you look closely, the displays on the thermal plants are all well above 70 degrees, yielding a very high level of power for your base compared to safer 50 degree locations, or the 15-20 degrees a lot of people who don't use them properly get.
This last one is very hard to place without dying, and you MUST have the reinforced diving suit, but it's well worth the 78 degree operating environment.
I can run 3 water filtration machines, keep a PRAWN and Seamoth charged, and run battery and power cell chargers easily with them. I never use my bioreactor anymore and have never, in the two years plus I've had Subnautica, built a nuclear plant.
