Busting Geothermal Myths: The Promise & Limits of Deep Closed Loop & Enhanced Systems
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down Simon Todd, PhD geologist, founder of Causeway Energies, and expert on geothermal. This is the transcript of the second half of our conversation, lightly edited. Michael Barnard [MB]: Hi, welcome back to Redefining Energy — Tech. This episode is powered by TFIE … [continued]

Deep Fission To Build Nuclear Power Plants Below The Surface Of The Earth
Deep Fission has a great idea. Let’s put small nuclear power plants a mile underground, where they are completely safe.

Deep Geothermal Energy Production Progress in Utah
Mark Z. Jacobson has proposed converting the entire energy production of the world to clean energy. He regards “Wind, Water, and Solar” (WWS) as the only methods that can do this practically, quickly, and economically. Of those, hydroelectric power is the only relatively continuous source, but it cannot be easily … [continued]

Ultra-Deep Geothermal Drilling & The Rise Of Black Swan Risks
Deep drilling isn’t optional for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), it’s the whole point. To understand why, think of the Earth’s crust as a hot soup. Near the surface, it’s merely lukewarm, barely useful beyond warming your house if you’re lucky. Go deeper, however, and temperatures rise rapidly, roughly 25 to … [continued]

Geothermal Is Having A Moment In The Sun, But Black Swans Are Casting Shade
For several years now, people have been asking me about enhanced or deep geothermal energy. I’ve fielded questions from readers, investors, policymakers, and fellow analysts, and it’s clear there’s renewed enthusiasm for geothermal’s potential role in our energy future. It’s time I delved into this topic comprehensively, and this article … [continued]
