106: Geothermal Breakthroughs: Roland Horne’s Vision for Clean Energy

Matt Matern and Dr. Roland Horne from Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability discuss geothermal energy. He emphasizes geothermal's low emissions and continuous energy supply, crucial in states like California and Nevada.  Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are vital for broader use, supported by increased U.S. funding. Horne advocates for ground-source heat pumps in colder regions for their high efficiency. He calls for more investment and training to harness geothermal energy’s potential and support a sustainable energy future.
