But the new kid on the block is mostly hidden underground. From the surface, Fervo Energy’s Cape Station looks more or less like an...
Texas has long been known as an energy powerhouse, built on a foundation of oil and natural gas. However, in recent years, Texas has become a trailblazer in renewable energy. Unfortunately, the future of Texas energy — from all sources — is threatened by a misguided court decision earlier this year. In August, the U.S....
