Geothermal energy holds massive potential to disrupt global energy markets and provide nearly limitless and constant clean energy. Unlike solar and wind energy, which rely on climatic factors outside of human control, the heat from the Earth’s core is a steady and constant commodity. It’s just a matter of tapping into it. And the race is heating up to determine the best technological approach to do just that.

The promising clean energy source has – at long last – become a very hot topic. Rising from near obscurity, it’s now shaping up to be “the decade of geothermal.” That’s according to Cindy Taff, chief executive of geothermal company Sage Geosystems, in an interview in The Hill published in February of this year.
