“It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead... which should make all the difference... shouldn't it?"

A lot of people love Molly Wood when she rants. And those rants are pretty epic. But I think Molly is even better when she’s being hopeful. This episode on geothermal is one of the best examples of that.

Listen to E112: Sage Geosystems: The clean energy everyone loves from Everybody in the Pool. This week on Everybody in the Pool, more power, right beneath our feet. Even as the United States has been attempting to stop or divest from renewable energy sources, there’s one kind of baseload power that doesn’t make anyone mad: geothermal.So this week we’re talking not just geothermal, but next-generation geothermal.My guest is Cindy Taff, CEO of Sage Geosystems, a company developing flexible, modular geothermal systems that can provide both baseload renewable power and incredible long-duration energy storage—all using the existing skill sets and drilling expertise of the oil and gas industry.We get into:Why geothermal is finally ready for prime time—thanks to new drilling techniques, better geologic modeling, and the lessons of shaleSage’s “heat harvesting” approach that works in far more places than conventional geothermalHow their Geopressured Geothermal System doubles as ultra-affordable long-duration energy storageWhy geothermal could be the clean firm power the grid desperately needsThe role the oil and gas workforce can play in building the energy transitionWhat it will take to finance and deploy geothermal at utility scaleLinks:Sage Geosystems: https://www.sagegeosystems.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/

There are many crimes these days, but I think one of the biggest is when my phone’s mail app suddenly and unexpectedly refreshes the mail list, right as I’m swiping to delete, thus causing me to delete an email I haven’t even seen yet. What is the government doing about this?!?!
