Texas is at the forefront of a geothermal revolution, with companies like Sage Geosystems leveraging oil and gas expertise to develop reliable geothermal power plants. Unlike intermittent solar and wind energy, geothermal provides a constant power source, tapping into the Earth’s natural heat without pollution.
Sage Geosystems is pioneering this field by repurposing an abandoned oil well for geothermal use, employing fracking-like techniques to heat water in deep stone layers, which then powers generators. This successful approach, along with other innovative methods from companies like Fervo Energy and Quaise Energy, positions the U.S. to potentially reach a geothermal capacity of 90 gigawatts by 2050—enough to power Texas at peak demand.
These technological strides represent a significant leap for sustainable energy, promising a lasting impact on our lives and future generations.
