Conventional geothermal energy is limited to specific hot spots,
but “closed-loop” geothermal, by going deeper and confining water
to sealed boreholes, promises to work almost anywhere; it amounts
to building a giant radiator, deep underground. I’m joined by
Jeanine Vany and Mark Fitzgerald of pioneering closed-loop
startup Eavor to discuss their newly operational plant in Germany
and the many advantages of a system that requires no fracking and
consumes no water.
