Utah’s Geothermal Revolution | Salt Lake City News

Utah is leading the nation in building the next energy revolution by tapping into Earth’s heat through enhanced geothermal systems—think shale revolution, but for clean, reliable power. The U.S. Department of Energy’s FORGE lab in Utah is pioneering this tech, while companies like Fervo Energy are already scaling it up with projects like Cape Station, set to power 365,000 homes. With potential to deliver hundreds of gigawatts of consistent, affordable energy, geothermal complements—not replaces—existing power sources. It runs 24/7, needs little land, and avoids imported fuel. The government’s role? De-risking innovation and fostering collaboration, while industry scales proven tech. A new Geothermal Center of Excellence in Colorado will accelerate this momentum, using the same drill-test-learn mindset that transformed America’s energy landscape.
