Fervo Energy, which uses drilling techniques from the oil and gas industry to produce power from the earth’s heat, raised $1.9 billion in an initial public offering.
Geothermal has support across the political spectrum because it can produce electricity without any planet-warming emissions while operating 24 hours a day, unlike wind and solar projects.
Has the New York Times ever resisted the urge to spread Republican talking points about wind and solar power? Call me crazy, but I think we should be pursuing all clean energy options, not just the ones Republicans aren’t throwing a hissy fit over… yet.
That “24 hours a day” is doing some extreme lifting. There are absolutely areas where wind makes constant power, just sometimes it produces more than other times.
