I am Icelandic, dont need a podcast on geothermals. While you guys have no steps of getting to renewable energy its pretty stupid to try to and leap to there.

Perhaps you do. Enhanced geothermal isn't what you've got in Iceland, it's quite different.

Democrats recently passed over $600B of renewable incentives that will draw much more in private investment into play, so we do have steps.

Lots of details in this podcast and this podcast.

We dont need enhanced geothermal energy although we helped innovate in that field.

The biggest viable options is nuclear but you guys are investing in systems that are years or decades away while making the average person feel the pain until thats possible.

Of course you don't, but we do and it will employ many thousands of people. Thanks for that article, but it's (mostly) not what we will be doing here.

Nuclear has a future only if it can be done in a way to get on a learning curve. Otherwise it will remain too expensive and too slow to implement.

That's false. We are building out solar and wind now while developing & commercializing new options.

My most recent client is an electric construction company in the process of more than doubling in size (again) from $200M to $500M, with transmission lines, substations and grid solar array installation as their primary growth areas with lots of good paying union jobs.
