Geothermal Energy Could be Huge. But We Need Oil and Gas Companies to Build It.

Geothermal Energy Could be Huge. But We Need Oil and Gas Companies to Build It.

Back in September, Karine Kleinhaus, a director at the Environmental Defense Fund, addressed an auditorium of suit-clad oil industry executives at Halliburton’s Houston headquarters. It was a bit of an awkward scene. “We’re looking to tackle climate change, which means stopping greenhouse gas emissions, which means transitioning away from fossil fuels,” Kleinhaus said onstage. “We can sugarcoat it or not, but that’s where I’m coming from.” That may have been Kleinhaus’s starting point, but the primary topic of discussion was one where the interests of the fossil fuel companies and environmental groups may align: how to use oil companies’ money, infrastructure, and expertise to rapidly scale up a new generation of geothermal power.

How a Geothermal Breakthrough could Transform our Energy Grid

Newberry Volcano — the largest volcano in the Pacific Northwest — is the site of an experiment that’s aiming for a breakthrough in geothermal energy. The experiment is one small step in the high-risk, high-reward world of next generation geothermal. The goal is to replace fossil fuels with this always-on, renewable energy. The challenge, however, is getting it to work.

This Overlooked Energy Source Could Supply 50% Of Electricity (Why Oil Giants like Chevron and BP are Investing in Geothermal Energy)

Miles below the Earth’s surface, there’s a source of renewable energy that could sustain all of humanity for the foreseeable future. Just 0.1% of Earth’s total heat content could meet our energy needs for 2 million years, according to ARPA-E, the government agency that funds R&D efforts for advanced energy technologies.

Why Don't We All Just Use Geothermal Energy?

Science tells us there's enough energy in the first 10 kilometres below our planet's surface to provide all our energy needs for millions of years. The Romans tapped into it for their hot water spas. Today, we all know it as Geothermal Energy. There's no carbon dioxide emissions and no air pollution with geothermal, and it's literally right there beneath our feet. So why isn't our entire planet powered by it?

Why Canada Should Exploit Geothermal | Kassy Harbottle | TEDxCalgary

As one of our "Participant Talk 180s", Kassy was given three minutes (180 seconds) to turn around some of our perspectives on an idea that matters to her. Her focus was the powerful (but currently under-developed) potential for using Canada's abundant geothermal resources.
Kassy Harbottle is an engineer with many years of experience in the energy industry. A graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in Geological Engineering, she currently is a graduate student studying for her M.Sc. in Sustainable Energy Development with the University of Calgary. Kassy is passionate about the prospects of better using geothermal energy, and she is an active member of the burgeoning Canadian geothermal industry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
