Stanford Proposes Enhanced Geothermal For Clean Power

A Stanford University study finds enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) can deliver continuous, low-cost electricity with lower land use and maintenance requirements. The report models that at roughly 10% national penetration EGS reduces wind needs 15%, solar 12%, and battery reliance 28%, estimates at least 60% savings versus fossil fuels, and anticipates economic viability by about 2035.
