Why Oil & Gas Might Hold the Key to Geothermal Energy...| Fully Charged Show Podcast 06/16/2025

Why Oil & Gas Might Hold the Key to Geothermal Energy...| Fully Charged Show Podcast Could we power the entire world with clean energy, 24/7, just by tapping into the heat beneath our feet? According to Jamie Beard, founder of Project InnerSpace, the answer is a resounding yes! She believes we could produce 70-75% of global electricity and 100% of its heat using geothermal energy – without burning a single fossil fuel. While less than 1% of the world's energy currently comes from this incredible source, Jamie reveals we're on the cusp of a "geothermal renaissance." Even more surprisingly, this renewable powerhouse has an 80-90% skill set overlap with the oil and gas industry, making it uniquely positioned to scale rapidly with existing talent and tools. In this episode of the Everything Electric Show, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Jamie to unlock the immense potential of next-generation geothermal. From her legal background to working on oil rigs, Jamie's journey highlights how oil and gas expertise – and even fracking technology – could be the key to bringing clean, reliable geothermal energy to homes and industries worldwide.
