About

Is Geothermal as exhaustive as the reports say? Can it power the future as a baseload energy source? Does America even produce any? What exactly is it? These are some questions you may be asking yourself when it comes to geothermal, and they are valid since historically geothermal hasn't been very good at engaging stakeholders outside of the industry. Today, we sit down and talk about the Geysers geothermal field, a 725 MWe field that is made up of over 13 power plants and 300 wells, so in short it is incredibly complex and is part of the US's leading 3.6 GW of geothermal production. In today's discussion, Rob Parker, VP of Operations at the Geysers talks about how geothermal has always been part of the energy mix and doesn't always get the love in future projections but believes there is a long future ahead for the Geysers and geothermal as an industry. Rob Parkerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-parker-2290922/Danielle Matthews Seperashttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-matthews-seperas/Peter Sohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-so-2238587/Calpinehttps://www.calpine.com/operations/power-operations/our-locations/california/big-geysersCORE Knowledgehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/core-geothermal/Nick Cestarihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-cestari-48059268/
