BAAJA is contains smart and critically important policy to support the responsible development of new geothermal energy and the grid infrastructure needed to connect and deliver it. Let's get it done.
“Geothermal is ready to power America’s future, but our permitting system is built for the past.” — Tim Latimer, CEO and co-founder of Fervo Energy Fervo supports permitting reform that keeps pace with American energy innovation.

Okay thank you, @JaneAFlegal. Let's talk BAAJA & geothermal. If you want clean, affordable, baseload power and you want it fast, enhanced geothermal is your technology. If you want to unlock the Geothermal Decade even faster, BAAJA is your bill. 🧵
To a degree people are not yet appreciating, the geothermal provisions in BAAJA may be among the highest impact for accelerating global decarbonization.

Very proud of this deal. We have the opportunity to build something truly special with our partners at Google and deepen our investment in, and commitment to, Beaver County. Building things right from the start for an affordable, reliable, sustainable and secure energy future.
Excited to share the news of this groundbreaking PPA today. Our multi-year partnership with Google has been important for Fervo’s growth, and we are excited to take the next step with them with this new 400 MW deal for enhanced geothermal power. wsj.com/business/energy-oil/…

So cool to see a large transit project come to life. Absolutely stunning as well!
Congrats to Sound Transit for officially fully opening up their Link 2 Line! Happy that I got to attend/film the first day of service for a transit line across a floating bridge

There's a bevy of reports on geothermal coming out these days, and this new piece from @PubEnterprise is easily the prettiest. Also has some of the best data for how EGS is the best option for supplying clean firm in the West. publicenterprise.org/report/…

There has been a massive (and under appreciated) breakthrough in geothermal drilling technology in the last few years.
The crossover of oil & gas technologies and engineering advances is helping cut costs & speed up project development for next‑generation geothermal Recent wells are outperforming earlier projects, with drilling rates for some companies nearly doubling 👉 iea.li/4afAQH1

Enhanced geothermal is so exciting because the field has made great progress with only ~$1 billion invested to date, most by one company (Fervo). The opportunity is enormous as real capital arrives.

The geothermal (EGS) cost projections are quite exciting as well! Clean, firm power FTW.

Great to see Governor Cox (Utah) and Governor Polis (Colorado) put together this op-ed. Thanks to their leadership, both states are pioneering the future of advanced geothermal projects.

Not only is Fervo demonstrating viability today, we have big plans for the future - scalable and repeatable 50 MW modules to create an Enhanced Geothermal Data Center Cluster. We are talking "spud date" to delivery in 18 months. Did I already mention zero fresh water usage?
