In this video we cover enhanced geothermal and the role it could play in decarbonizing the world's electric grid.
Recently there have been a series of breakthroughs in enhanced geothermal systems, an advanced method of generating electricity from the Earth’s heat.
If these developments continue, geothermal could generate between 10 and 20 percent of the country’s electricity in the coming decades, according to recent studies from the Department of Energy and Princeton.
Enhanced geothermal could also solve one of clean energy’s biggest problems: intermittency. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal power plants can operate at all hours of the day, no matter the weather or time of year.
In this story, I’ll cover the past, present, and future of enhanced geothermal and look at what needs to happen in order for the technology to play a large role in decarbonizing America’s power sector.

    And how many millions fund the political alarmist climate dictate? So often paid from the government state with tax payers money. Heck, the biggest growth industry is fuelled by climate alarmism, and there is a right old merry go round for those that jump on it. A most obvious example is the disconnect between NASA public message and their actual data. Their statements suggest we should be alarmed, but 20 years of the best data yet doesn't show anything much to be alarmed about. Even the IPCC has diluted their original alarmist message. There is Climate Change, but nothing we shouldn't easily deal with. Certainly doesn't warrant keeping the poor poor by denying them cheap energy. What of Al Gore's doom prophesy of 20 years ago has come true?

    Nobody talks about the incredible benefits of CO2 and the harm that is created by our decarbonization program. CO2 is a plant fertilizer. As a result each acre of land is more productive while needing less water. Satellite images show that the earth is greening as a result of more CO2. The transition to all electric is an environmental catastrophe when you think about all the metric tons of earth that has to moved to harvest the critical metals including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, iron rare earth metals, etc. Just one wind turbine requires 600 to 1000 tons of concrete, 165 tons of steel, 3 tons of copper per megawatt of installed capacity, 1300 pounds of rare earth metal. Of course, these numbers can be a little lower or much higher for high megawatt turbines. A better way to calculate is by each megawatt of capacity. Other significant metals are zinc, manganese, chromium, molybdenum. Then there are the metals required to connect them into the grid. The operational lifetime is only 20 to 30 years. However where all this mining happens are areas that are highly polluted. Then one Tesla model S EV requires 62.6 kg of lithium, besides other metals. In the US alone, there are 2.4 million EVs and many more in China. The propaganda is working so well because skeptical scientists get no funding. Just search “the benefits of CO2” and you will be amazed how scammed most people are. Below 150 ppm, life isn’t possible. CO2 is not the lever that causes climate change. Climate change has always been with us and there are many factors that take a long time to list all of them. One big one are the Milankowitch cycles that cause ice ages. Because the level of CO2 lags by decades increases in atmospheric temperature, it can’t be the cause of climate warming. The reason is that most CO2 is dissolved in the ocean and when ocean temperatures rise, CO2 is released. Don’t believe all this propaganda. Just be a good steward and don’t pollute. Leave this planet in better shape by planting trees and be grateful.

    Clean power, Nope. You create a weakspot in the earthcrust. Layers after layers have secured the crust, with bringing water in it you will weakening the crust and can causing a devestating effect on the planet. If you put water straight in, it can go into a fisher and this could reach even magma in the depth. So with it you will create weaknesses and even earthquakes. The well should be having a coating to secure water to move into the deap or into fishers.

    The areas were you find permeable rock, water and heat are more common than talked about here. We are very far from exhausting those areas. Going to enhanced geothermal systems opens up nearly the whole world for geothermal power plants. It is actually strange how little geothermal energy is used for producing electricity, space heating and industrial applications. It produces energy 24/7/365, is inexpensive to run, costs far less to build compared to nuclear and is that abounded, it could provide all the primary energy needs of the USA for example.

The truth is that it is impossible to pull off the tom foolery that is the green agenda without first turning the world into a 3rd world country. Do you know the environmental waste that comes from mining batteries. A whopping ton of rare earth metals are needed for EACH wind turbine, along with 500,000 TONS of concrete (FOR EACH ONE). Big Green DOESN'T work and steals billions of dollars from the tax coffers to give us less reliable energy from companies that oftentimes go belly up.

    Ummm agriculture transportation is one of the top producers of CO2. NYC's food transportation is the highest in the country. Mid-sized cities are far more sustainable than large cities for this reason. I used to work in NYC and it was full of trash, everyone eats at restaurants, and the businesses' recycling services are scarce, if any. All but one friend moved away from NYC to cleaner mid-sized cities like Miami, Denver, San Diego, and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

    It’s not propaganda it’s the truth !! There is no historical evidence at all of a leading correlation between atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature. Without it, the AGW theory simply falls apart, as 'climate change' is just a new-fangled term for global warming. 'Climate change' became the term to use when there was no warming at all between 1998 and 2016, despite ever increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere. After the strong El Nino of recent years we are now in a multi years-long 'pause' in temperature rise, even though CO2 concentration continues to rise inexorably. There are no trends at all in extreme weather events including hurricanes and floods, fire burn acreage is at one of its lowest points since records began, and sea level has been rising at a constant 2mm/year for the last 8,000 years - prior to that, between 15,000 years ago and 8,000 years ago it rose 110m after the end of the last ice age. So, there is no 'climate crisis' and 'climate scientists' (actually just modellers, and look at the mess they've made of things recently) have never got any predictions right. We can no more "tackle climate change" than we can turn back the tides - temperatures have gone up and down throughout history, irrespective of CO2 levels. So we must start seriously questioning the 'climate crisis' nonsense being peddled by our government - it will bankrupt us and bring unprecedented restrictions on our freedom of choice and way of life - for no benefit at all.

    You missed that cities and suburbs in the Netherlands are cut up into sections or made really windy, similar to us suburbs, except for walking and cycling, which have quick acces and even dedicated through fares, which means it the distance traveled by bike is way shorter than for cars, which really helps the bike win out for short to medium sized trips. Its not just traffic calming, its actively discourcouraging rat running and preventing car from taking the most direct route, and forcing them onto dedicated ring roads, which means for short distances even for a rally driver with empty streets, its quicker to go by bike than by car.

If government grants went to neutral scientists who don't know how much of temp increase is man-made, wouldn't the results be more credible? Now I don't know which side to believe.

    Good summary. Also, people should check out Adam Ragusea's video about ways in which gas stoves actually underperform in cooking compared to electric induction. A big problem is the fossil fuel industry is adept at marketing and business. See how they labeled their product "natural" gas when it's just 99.9% methane (CH₄). Next to mother nature, the 2nd most powerful force on the planet is the fossil fuel industry with their massive annual profits, government subsidies and deep political influence. They own many high-ranking politicians like Greg Abott and Danielle Smith both of whom have zero shame in pushing blatant fossil fuel agenda out in the open. Countries around the world regularly go to war or engage in military operations _on behalf_ of their petroleum industries! As covered, methane has 80X the greenhouse potential as CO₂. In the US alone, there are over 2-million miles of gas piping and small leaks over such a long distance actually equally a lot of waste that directly accelerates global warming. The massive natural gas processing facilities actually freely vent large volumes of methane since its cheaper that way. This is called the *fugitive emissions* problem and adds some 6% annually to greenhouse gas emissions on a pure waste stream that costs the US billions annually. Methane is a lightweight gas that absolutely wants to escape any vessel it's contained within.

    Ice Core Data which is real science shows that at the end of ever interglacial period over the last 300,000 years there was a spike in atmospheric methane. This could be the reason, that at the tundra melts due to the natural rise in temperature and it releases methane. The leap to the "man made climate change" religion, defeats the scientific method completely. I suddenly felt I was at a come to Jesus meeting of some fringe Jesus cult! There has been a spike in temperatures, a break from core data since 1900, which might coincide with mankind's use of "core fuels (no longer are they fossil fuels, except Coal)," and the massive jump in human population which are concerns, but THERE IS NO SETTLED SCIENCE on mankind's carbon output doing anything but greening the earth. So please stop the religion! Let's just stick with science. The only real scientific cause is that the tundra is melting at the end of our current interglacial period, so I guess governments should tax the tundra like they do cows.

    The typical, uneducated and opinionated Woke arguments are employed here. Attack the person and their assets rather than question their facts. For example: "....97% of scientists believe that humans are putting CO2 into the atmosphere and that CO2 contributes to climate change..." this fact is so specious it should not even be considered 'science'. It's a fact that man puts CO2 into the atmosphere. It's a fact that CO2 will have an effect on the climate. The real SCIENCE is accurately defining BY HOW MUCH....anything less than that is just Chicken Little screaming 'de sky is a fallin'
