When most people hear "geothermal energy," they think of Iceland, Yellowstone, or hot springs — places where the earth's heat is practically boiling up through the ground on its own. For decades, that image was essentially correct: traditional geothermal power only worked where nature had already done the hard work. But a wave of new technology borrowed directly from the oil and gas industry is changing everything. In this episode, we discuss the rapid advances in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) — what they are, how far the technology has come since we first covered this topic in 2022, and most importantly, what the legal ownership picture looks like for mineral rights owners as this new energy source begins to scale up.
