The first large-scale commercial enhanced geothermal system (EGS) power generator in the United States is under construction with the company reporting in our generator survey that it plans to bring the project online in June 2026. Below, we examine what enhanced geothermal systems are and how they differ from conventional geothermal systems. What is … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic comparison of fast-learning manufactured technologies versus slow-learning construction technologies, highlighting the contrast between high-volume solar and battery production and the sparse, low-repetition nature of enhanced geothermal systems
Enhanced geothermal systems have been positioned by advocates as a scalable source of firm, low carbon electricity that can complement wind and solar. The idea has appeal. The deep heat of the crust is available everywhere and geothermal energy is not intermittent. Policy agencies have published scenarios showing EGS costs … [continued]
