Ground Truth
by Fervo Energy
Before Fervo Energy was a company, there was a flood in Houston, a Stanford class project, and a young engineer convinced fracking technology could crack geothermal energy wide open. Ground Truth traces Fervo’s decade-long climb from that grad-school hunch to a multibillion-dollar IPO, told not as corporate history, but as a human one. Host Olivia Johnson, new to the company herself, talks to the founders and early team about the years nobody believed them, the breakthrough in the Nevada desert, and what is expected to be the largest next-generation geothermal project on Earth rising in Utah.
