Summary

The U.S. is facing a mounting energy challenge. Electricity demand is set to double by 2050, driven by population growth, industrial electrification, and the clean energy transition. Yet, the existing grid is already strained, and electricity prices are continuing to rise. The country needs more reliable, cost-effective power – and fast. Geothermal energy offers a solution: secure, scalable, and baseload power with the potential to supply 90 GW by 2050. But today, geothermal energy meets less than 1% of global demand. What’s missing? The expertise to unlock it at scale. Oil and gas professionals, who have spent decades mastering subsurface energy extraction, are now leading the charge, applying their advanced drilling, reservoir management, and project execution skills to transform geothermal into a viable, large-scale energy source.
