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]

Conventional Geothermal’s Untapped Potential: What’s Holding It Back?
Conventional geothermal electrical generation, where conditions are right, is an excellent form of renewable generation. It keeps chugging along day and night, offering firmed power with some of the highest capacity factors in the business and very low emissions per MWh. Yet, despite its many advantages, geothermal often gets left … [continued]

Geothermal Power In Utah, The US, & The World Compared With Other Technologies
I believe in the clean power bible written by Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University. He explains why wind, water, and solar are the only practical and economical means he believes can convert the world efficiently, quickly, and economically to clean energy. He has eliminated other popular green energy items … [continued]
