@advaitarun_ @jerometenk This is a very lively read and I’ve sent it to several folks.

[Ben Feshbach @BenFeshbach]

@advaitarun_ Awesome work @advaitarun_ @PubEnterprise!

[Jane Flegal @JaneAFlegal]

Hell yeah it does

[Ben Feshbach @BenFeshbach]

In case of interest @noah_gordon_ @advaitarun_ (and presumably others too).

New guidance from @DOE_EDF signals support for geothermal equipment manufacturing. Excellent!

[Energy Dominance Financing @DOE_EDF]

EDF has released updated Title 17 Energy Financing Program guidance. Expanded & strengthened under President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cut, it sharpens EDF’s focus on projects that increase energy affordability, reliability & security for all Americans. https://t.co/2TQPdExALR

@Eli4Sustain We agree! Supply chains are both an economic opportunity and a potential bottleneck for the United States in deploying and scaling next-generation geothermal:

@innerspace2030 @noah_gordon_ @cleanaircatf @CascadeInst @rhodium_group @RockyMtnInst @Livermore_Lab @NatLabRockies @CanaryMediaInc Lots of great stuff out there. If you're working on geothermal supply chains and/or the economic development implications of next-generation geothermal development, please reach out! You can find our emails at the end of our @RockyMtnInst article:

If next-generation geothermal is to achieve national scale, we'll need a whole lot more geothermal hardware, from turbines to high-temperature drill bits. That's an opportunity for new American manufacturing: https://t.co/2Cw2lOodLt

Thanks @noah_gordon_ for the mention!

[Noah Gordon @noah_gordon_]

Fervo's IPO was big.
But next-gen geothermal projects use turbines engineered in Italy. It's a (small) cleantech market that's mostly in European hands for now, though the US is prioritizing it.
@RockyMtnInst says "The Geothermal Supply Chain Is America’s to Gain — or Lose"

@innerspace2030 @noah_gordon_ @cleanaircatf @CascadeInst @rhodium_group @RockyMtnInst @Livermore_Lab @NatLabRockies Also important: Supply-chain considerations vary by geothermal developer. There's nothing wrong with that! But it means policymakers need a wide aperture when designing support for the production of, say, high-temperature drill bits.
