Lubbershane: US has only a few gigawatts of natural geothermal capacity

Beard: Next-gen geothermal is close to enabling baseload clean power globally
“And the idea that we could do that, and we're on the cusp of being able to do that, is, is a really amazing thought. Because literally then, you're talking about being able to place You know, regional geothermal power plants as a firm, reliable, weather-secure…”
