Geothermal Energy: The Underground Revolution in Clean Power

TL;DR Summary
Tim Latimer, CEO of Fervo Energy, is pioneering the use of fracking techniques to harness geothermal energy from superhot rocks deep underground, aiming to produce 2,000 megawatts of zero-carbon power by 2030. Despite raising over $400 million from investors like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, the project faces potential challenges from President-elect Trump's plans to cut green energy subsidies. Fervo's innovative approach could revolutionize clean energy, but it must navigate technical, financial, and political hurdles.
