So cool to see a large transit project come to life. Absolutely stunning as well!

[Alan Fisher @alanthefisher]

Congrats to Sound Transit for officially fully opening up their Link 2 Line!

Happy that I got to attend/film the first day of service for a transit line across a floating bridge

[Ben Serrurier @benserrurier]

There's a bevy of reports on geothermal coming out these days, and this new piece from @PubEnterprise is easily the prettiest. Also has some of the best data for how EGS is the best option for supplying clean firm in the West. https://t.co/cDJSLWQx7r

There has been a massive (and under appreciated) breakthrough in geothermal drilling technology in the last few years.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Exclusive: The geothermal company Fervo Energy has privately raised $462 million from investors including Google to scale a major project in Utah and fund new developments https://t.co/xRbPf88w8c

[Tim Latimer @TimMLatimer]

1/Closing the year out at Fervo with one more big announcement: a new funding round. Fervo has raised a $462 million Series E led by B Capital to accelerate our geothermal pipeline.

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

Enhanced geothermal is so exciting because the field has made great progress with only ~$1 billion invested to date, most by one company (Fervo). The opportunity is enormous as real capital arrives.

@ShanuMathew93 @tylerhnorris Interesting, and fair enough! I’ve been going back & forth between G3 and GPT for different tasks. For whatever reasons I can’t explain, once I dialed in my prompts/asks for G3, it’s been a lot smoother. However, the top dog position will probably bounce back & forth for awhile.

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

@tylerhnorris @ShanuMathew93 Shanu, I had a similar experience as you, but have found G3 to be much more powerful, quicker, and creative. I think ChatGPT has more of a "personality", but once you dial in your prompts for G3 (similar to learning a new person), you can do a lot more with it IMO.

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

The geothermal (EGS) cost projections are quite exciting as well! Clean, firm power FTW.

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

Great to see Governor Cox (Utah) and Governor Polis (Colorado) put together this op-ed. Thanks to their leadership, both states are pioneering the future of advanced geothermal projects.

[Newsweek Opinion @NewsweekOpinion]

Geothermal energy provides clean, renewable heat and electricity by tapping into the stable temperatures beneath the Earth's surface. https://t.co/bqMvs7qKUN

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

@fervoenergy @UTPortAuthority Utah is an ideal starting point, but it doesn't end there. With over 500K acres of lease positions, Fervo has its eyes all across the west. If you want to get involved, get in touch!

@fervoenergy @UTPortAuthority Not only is Fervo demonstrating viability today, we have big plans for the future - scalable and repeatable 50 MW modules to create an Enhanced Geothermal Data Center Cluster. We are talking "spud date" to delivery in 18 months. Did I already mention zero fresh water usage?

[Ray Nothstine @RayNothstine]

There is some really fascinating new content in the energy issue of @American_Habits but absolute must reads are the interviews with @JackConness, @jltroyan_wv, and @gballeng.

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

@RayNothstine @American_Habits The U.S. transformed the world economy with our advancements in oil and gas technologies. Those advancements have spurred major breakthroughs at Fervo and in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). It's time to seize this new moment.

[Jack Conness @JackConness]

It was a pleasure to speak with @RayNothstine at @American_Habits about Fervo Energy, advanced geothermal, and how the U.S. has the opportunity to lead the world in the future of geothermal energy. Becoming leaders in this tech has major economic and national security advantages.
