As the global leader in geothermal energy, the United States has surpassed an installed capacity of 4,000 MW. This is more than just a statistic; it’s a striking comparison: the geothermal output from California alone is sufficient to power millions of households annually. Unlike many nations that utilize geothermal resources primarily for shallow heating, the U.S. is pushing the frontier with Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), targeting hot dry rock thousands of meters underground. An interesting fact is that the U.S. geothermal grid is powered by over 700 geothermal wells, providing a level of reliability that overcomes the intermittency of solar and wind, securing a true 24/7 'baseload' of clean, green electricity.
