Oregon State University just received $750,000 to study superhot rock geothermal energy that could generate eight times more electricity than the world currently uses. Scientists are recreating conditions from miles underground to unlock clean energy that never runs out.
Thousands of fossil fuel workers are discovering their drilling skills translate perfectly to geothermal energy, a clean power source gaining momentum even as other renewables face setbacks. With 300,000 workers already qualified and federal funding flowing, this emerging industry offers hope for both the planet and people seeking stable, meaningful careers.
Thousands of fossil fuel workers are discovering their drilling skills transfer perfectly to geothermal energy, one of the few renewables getting bipartisan support. With 300,000 workers already qualified and $171 million in new federal funding, the industry is opening doors to exciting careers powering America's clean energy future.
Britain just plugged its first geothermal power plant into the national grid, tapping heat from three miles underground to power 10,000 homes 24/7. Unlike solar and wind, this Cornwall facility never stops generating clean electricity.
A former coal mining village in British Columbia is turning its abandoned underground tunnels into a geothermal heating and cooling system. The project could provide affordable, zero-emission energy while transforming the town's industrial past into a sustainable future.
Deep beneath a Bavarian forest, a Canadian company is proving that clean heat can be harvested almost anywhere on Earth. Their innovative "closed-loop" system creates an enormous underground radiator that could replace fossil fuel heating worldwide.
Britain just fired up its first geothermal power plant, tapping heat from three miles underground to create clean electricity that never stops flowing. The groundbreaking facility in Cornwall will power 10,000 homes while producing lithium for electric car batteries.
The UK just started receiving its first geothermal electricity from a pioneering Cornwall plant that also produces lithium for batteries. A worldwide surge in clean, always-on geothermal energy could soon power 15% of global electricity growth by 2050.
Britain just switched on its first geothermal power plant, using heat from three miles underground to generate clean electricity around the clock. Unlike solar and wind, this renewable energy source never stops working.
A former oil executive left Shell to prove that fracking technology can unlock unlimited clean energy from beneath our feet. The same controversial drilling method that extracts oil could now deliver renewable power 24/7, solving what solar and wind can't.
America just got its largest electricity producer as Constellation completes its acquisition of Calpine, combining nuclear, natural gas, and geothermal power to fuel the nation's AI revolution. The merger creates 55 gigawatts of clean energy capacity serving 2.5 million customers nationwide.
A groundbreaking technology that creates clean energy almost anywhere is coming online this summer in Utah, potentially unlocking enough power to run millions of homes. Enhanced geothermal systems could transform how America generates electricity.
