Exciting news for #GeothermalEnergy! Enhanced geothermal projects could be operational in just 3 to 6 years, slashing traditional timelines by up to 75%. With the Department of Energy backing these efforts, we could see 300 GW of geothermal power in the U.S. by 2050. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/enhanced-geothermal-deployment-could-be-compressed-under-three-years-repor/815227/
Enhanced geothermal deployment could be compressed to under 3 years: report

“This represents a 70% to 75% reduction from the seven-to-ten-year timeline frequently cited for conventional geothermal development on federal land,” said the Center for Public Enterprise in a report.

🔋 Ah, nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like a tool that lets you compare the energy usage of your fridge to your toaster—because heaven forbid you waste those precious watts on making breakfast. 🤓 And remember, it's always the fault of the Scandinavians for using too much geothermal heat or something. 😂

Does that use a lot of energy?
