The Biden administration just approved a massive geothermal energy project in Utah, marking a significant advance for a climate-friendly technology that is gaining momentum in the United States, the White House confirmed to The Washington Post on Thursday. The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management gave final approval to Fervo Energy’s Cape Geothermal Power Project in Beaver County, Utah, the White House said. Once fully operational, the project could generate up to 2 gigawatts of electricity — enough to power more than 2 million homes. … Despite its climate benefits, some environmentalists oppose enhanced geothermal because of its reliance on fracking, which has the potential to contaminate drinking water and trigger earthquakes or tremors.
