Summary
Residents of Geretsried, Germany, are hopeful about a new geothermal energy project led by Eavor, which aims to provide clean heat and electricity. After unsuccessful attempts 15 years ago, advances in geothermal technology may allow for deeper drilling. The project is crucial for Germany's shift from fossil fuels, particularly following its vulnerabilities highlighted by the Ukraine crisis. The International Energy Agency supports this venture, asserting that geothermal could play a significant role in the global energy equation as nearly every country has untapped geothermal potential. Geretsried's project may serve as a global model for renewable energy.
