Representatives of the #geothermal industry met with Secretary Jennifer Granholm during CERAWeek. Bryant Jones, Executive Director of Geothermal Rising said, "We are thrilled Secretary Granholm is 'obsessed' with geothermal and appreciate her attention to the solutions geothermal offers creating #jobs , mitigating the climate crisis, and protecting the environment. To be part of the clean energy solution, the geothermal industry needs to be united and holistic, supporting all geothermal technologies from ground source heat pumps to supercritical hot rock and everything in between." Kelly Blake, President of Geothermal Rising said, “The discussion while the group had the ear of Secretary Granholm demonstrated that the geothermal industry is strongest when presented together to drive forward #policies that will lift up all technologies. At Geothermal Rising, we realize that expanding the geothermal community is a new idea, but it is also important to sustain and grow with the ever changing energy landscape." Kristy Egg Egg, VP at Egg Geo, LLC said, “Bringing the entire geothermal industry together with a united voice has created an energy revolution that will provide great jobs & prosperity for decades to come. We applaud Secretary Granholm for her commitment to the geothermal industry as a baseload energy solution that provides electricity, #ThermalEnergyNetworks, and enables the expansion of the electrical grid responsibly through distribution of thermal energy resources.” #HeatPumps #cleanenergy #community NYSERDA Baker Hughes ThinkGeoEnergy HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) WING Global Betony Jones Chris Castro Building Decarbonization Coalition IAPMO PHCPPros

Jay Egg that group picture is amazing. In it I am reminded of how diverse the applications of geothermal energy can be, and yet we didn't cover it all. Thank you for sharing.
Great work getting an audience with the Secretary! Shows commitment and persistence on behalf of the geothermal industry. Interesting to see Baker Hughes name pop up, I’m pretty sure that’s the same firm we retained back in the early 90s to help setup meetings with Secretary Admiral Watkins and Hazel O’Leary. These meeting helped build the foundation for the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium, now GEO. Congratulations all of you!
Jay Egg thanks for sharing.
What an impactful meeting! The support from Sec. Granholm for #geothermal is energizing and genuine! The "obsession" is contagious! 😉
Great work, team!
Egg Geo is pleased to support this amazing effort. Thank you Jennifer Granholm for making #geothermal a reality in the US.
