I've done lots of interesting projects @TheBTI, but this has been my favorite to date.

We should be talking MUCH more about geothermal energy. It might be only a minor player in the energy transition.... or it could be a force of decarbonizing.

thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/… The TLDR: new technology has made geothermal energy much more accessible, but geothermal is still nascent. If the US makes smart policy decisions, it could kick off deep cost reductions, leading to 100s or even 1000s of geothermal. We should make that reality more likely.
