Conventional geothermal electrical generation, where conditions are right, is an excellent form of renewable generation. It keeps chugging along day and night, offering firmed power with some of the highest capacity factors in the business and very low emissions per MWh. Yet, despite its many advantages, geothermal often gets left … [continued]

Hydrogen proponents love to paint a rosy picture of the future — one where we simply repurpose existing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transport, avoiding the need for costly new infrastructure. This claim is simplistic, misleading, and built on a foundation of wishful thinking rather than engineering realities. This is … [continued]

As someone who combines a lifelong passion for speculative fiction with rigorous expertise in energy systems and the analytical lens of an English literature student, I approach Erik Rakhou’s Touching Hydrogen Future (2022) and Jeremy Rifkin’s The Hydrogen Economy (2002) with both fascination and deep skepticism. Viewed through this dual … [continued]

For several years now, people have been asking me about enhanced or deep geothermal energy. I’ve fielded questions from readers, investors, policymakers, and fellow analysts, and it’s clear there’s renewed enthusiasm for geothermal’s potential role in our energy future. It’s time I delved into this topic comprehensively, and this article … [continued]
