For our final episode of 2022, we welcome Sarah Jewett, Director of Strategy at Fervo Energy, a startup working on next-generation geothermal. Fervo brings drilling innovations from oil and gas to make geothermal a real option for 24-7 zero-carbon power.
Sarah walks us through the oil & gas drilling technologies that Fervo is leveraging, and the opportunities for geothermal to bring the oil and gas workforce into the clean-energy transition. She breaks down where geothermal belongs in the clean-power supply stack and how the IRA can help give geothermal the subsidy support that has helped solar and wind scale.
