Don't miss this compelling talk on the promise of geothermal energy. The Earth's internal heat - geothermal energy - is our next energy revolution. But we need to try harder! If we do, it can change everything.

WATCH: Cascade Institute fellow Rebecca Pearce's compelling TEDx presentation could reshape how the world approaches clean energy.

We may look back on this as a watershed moment in Canada's journey to geothermal superpower. Yesterday in Ottawa, the Cascade Institute convened leaders from industry, government, Indigenous organizations, and civil society to forge an alliance that will advance deep geothermal energy in Canada.

WATCH: In a compelling Cascade Institute Speaker Series talk, Dr. @natehagens.bsky.social, Executive Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future and host of The Great Simplification podcast, challenges us to take meaningful steps toward change—even without having all the answers.

"We are living in extraordinary times. Events beyond our control have upended Canada’s longstanding prosperity, security, and stability. Two in five Canadians believe it is at least somewhat likely that the United States will attack Canada militarily in the next five years."

"Canada can build a full value chain in geothermal — from exploration and drilling to technological development and export — ensuring that innovation... drives economic growth. But this opportunity won’t last forever... the window for Canada to secure a leadership position is narrowing."

Grateful for the chance to join Nick Cestari on the CORE Knowledge podcast and talk about @cascadeinstitute.bsky.social's work to position Canada as a leader on geothermal power www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
