Will Geothermal Ever Boom Like Fracking? (Greentech Media)
On this week’s Energy Gang podcast: We look at a U.S. government plan to reinvigorate geothermal.
It’s been a decade since the fracking boom reshaped U.S. energy markets — so will we ever use our drilling prowess to create a similar geothermal boom?
That’s the hope. The Department of Energy just released a massive new report revisiting America’s potential in conventional hydrothermal, enhanced geothermal, direct use and ground-source heat pumps. The potential is enormous. But it’s just sitting there, largely untapped.
On this week's Energy Gang podcast, we’re going to open up DOE’s report and see which borehole it takes us down.
