Can Geothermal Cooling Tame Data Centers’ Energy Appetite?
The world is increasingly run by data centers — huge, anonymous buildings that gobble up electricity and belch heat like angry dragons. Each click, stream, or swipe piles up more data in racks upon racks of humming servers. Yet few people realize just how thirsty these data dragons really are. … [continued]

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]

Can Underground Thermal Batteries Warm Northern Cities in Deep Winter?
Having grown up in Canada’s north and spent far too many winters trudging through snowy downtown streets in Toronto, Ottawa, and Edmonton, I know firsthand just how brutal Canadian winters can be—and how urgently our cities need practical, scalable, low-carbon heating solutions. Even if you haven’t spent months navigating icy … [continued]

China Is Scaling Geothermal District Heating & The World Should Pay Attention
When China starts scaling a technology at massive levels, the rest of the world should take notice. That’s not a geopolitical statement, it’s a thermodynamic and logistical one. China doesn’t mess around when it comes to heat, power, and infrastructure. And in the case of ground-source heat pumps used for … [continued]
