    Fervo’s 24/7 Power Breakthrough w/ Dawn Owens

    Dawn Owens, Fervo Energy’s Head of Project Development and Commercial Markets and VP, sits down with Steph Speirs to discuss enhanced geothermal energy. Enhanced geothermal is a 24/7 clean energy solution that’s rapidly becoming cheaper than fossil fuels and can provide stable power to the grid without raising your electricity bill. Dawn breaks down the biggest myths, from induced earthquakes to water contamination, and shares the vision for a world with clean air and affordable power. — Subscribe to Our Substack: https://substack.com/@futureinbloom Common Questions How does Fervo’s technology avoid induced seismicity (man-made earthquakes)? Is enhanced geothermal like fracking, and how does it prevent water contamination? How can geothermal meet the massive, growing energy demand of AI and data centers? Why is geothermal important for achieving 24/7 clean energy? How is the geothermal industry providing a “just transition” for oil and gas workers? — #geothermalenergy #fervoenergy #cleanenergy #aienergy #climatetech #deeptech — Future in Bloom bridges climate tech and human nature.
