Geothermal energy and the revival of a forgotten renewable

January 05, 2023 • Renewable Energy World • Season 1 • Episode 5

Tim Latimer was working as a drilling engineer in South Texas when he couldn't shake a newfound curiosity.

Latimer was new to the oil and gas industry, and in 2012, the industry was at the height of the shale revolution. He was tasked with navigating the challenges created by high drilling temperatures in the Eagle Ford Shale region.

As he did more research Latimer discovered the world of geothermal energy. Fast forward a decade later and his company, Fervo Energy, is leading the revival of what Latimer calls a forgotten renewable.

Latimer joined the Texas Power Podcast from Renewable Energy World to discuss his background, geothermal's resurgence, and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on the industry.
