Summary

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.

Hello and welcome to another glorious episode of the fully charge show podcast.

0:09.0

I'm going to ask you a question now.

0:11.0

Can you imagine?

0:12.0

Can you imagine?

0:13.0

That's the question.

0:15.0

That we could develop a technology that produces around 70, 75% of all the electricity we would ever consume on the planet,

0:23.6

all the whole, globally, we're talking global, not local, global, all the electricity,

0:28.6

and 100% of the heat that we need on the planet, by using one technology that does not require us

0:36.6

to dig up and extract and transport and refine and burn a fuel.

0:41.3

Would that be quite a good idea? That's my question. I think the answer is, yes it would.

0:47.3

Across the board, regardless of political opinion, regardless of whether you think climate change is a cruel myth designed to crush basic freedom

0:56.1

or something that we could possibly be slightly concerned about.

1:01.1

Well, that technology is what we're talking about today.

1:03.9

I'm talking to this extraordinary woman called Jamie Beard.

1:06.5

She is a very experienced person who's worked in the oil and gas industry

1:13.1

has seen fracking taking places, understood the technology that's used to that

1:17.2

and is part of the renaissance, as she calls it, of technological development.

1:23.3

That means that we can use much of that technology,

1:26.6

not to extract oil or gas that we burn once

1:29.4

but to extract heat that we can extract again and again and again for tens if not hundreds of years

1:37.2

it is that it is a critically important step in what we're doing and this isn't just a bit of heat

1:42.7

so you can have your radiators on in your house this is heat that you can work use in industry so we're talking very
