The Geothermal Energy Podcast

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of subsurface energy storage and geothermal power with Mike Eros , Chief Geoscientist at Sage Geosystems , where he’s pioneering geo-pressured geothermal and long-duration energy storage solutions. A former ExxonMobil subsurface expert, he’s now helping reshape how we tap into and store Earth’s heat. We explore how Mike transitioned from oil and gas int...

In this episode, we sit down with Tim Lines , a petroleum engineer turned geothermal advocate, whose career spans 40+ countries in oil & gas, district heating, and now geothermal innovation. We explore how he was drawn into the sector, the technical-economic feasibility of geothermal at scale, and his company’s work to advance projects in the UK and abroad. ⏱️ Timestamps * 00:00 - Introduction, Wh...

Hello folks, Welcome back to Part 2 of our conversation with Eric Bosworth (watch part 1 here ). Eric is the Manager of Clean Technology at Eversource , his journey spanning oilfield engineering, utility infrastructure, and emerging decarbonization technologies. Currently, Eric leads efforts to pilot and scale alternatives to fossil gas - including hydrogen, carbon capture, and (most relevant) com...

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Brookman , a seasoned physicist whose career has spanned from nuclear fusion research to pioneering advancements in geothermal energy. Currently serving as a Senior Radio-Frequency (RF) Engineer at Quaise Energy , Michael focuses on leveraging RF technology to revolutionize geothermal energy production. Episode Highlights : * Michael's Journey : From his ea...

Beaver County, Utah is a rural region making big moves in geothermal — home to legacy power from Blundell , research leadership through FORGE , EGS development from Fervo Energy , and AGS innovation via Rodatherm . In this episode, we talk with Jen Wakeland , Strategic Development Director of Beaver County, Utah , in her last few weeks in the role before transitioning to working for the Utah Gover...

In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Ken Wisian , we discuss the challenges and opportunities facing geothermal development in the U.S. We cover why geothermal has historically lagged behind wind and solar, how federal and state programs are changing the economics, and what it will take to move from exploration to execution. Topics include Department of Defense projects, geothermal storage, long-...

In Part One of this conversation, Dr. Ken Wisian shares his journey from a multi-decade military career to leading geothermal research at the Bureau of Economic Geology. We explore how his background in physics, geology, and disaster response informs his work today, dive into Texas’s geothermal potential, and unpack the origins of Project Innerspace and its role in accelerating geothermal innovati...

Geothermal energy is poised for a revolution, and it all starts beneath our feet. Bill Heins , a licensed professional geologist with over 35 years of experience, joins the show to break down the challenges and opportunities in geothermal drilling and exploration. From his time at ExxonMobil to his current work at Getech and Ammonite Resources , Bill has tackled complex subsurface problems across...

In this episode, Tim Tarver, Founding Board Member of Exceed Geo Energy and drilling industry veteran, discusses the future of geothermal, Exceed’s innovative supercritical-CO2 closed-loop systems, and how the project his team is working on with Austin Energy could redefine sustainable baseload power. Join us as we explore the role of geothermal in the evolving energy landscape. This is a public e...
