The US may provide up to one-third of the extra clean energy required by 2050 to achieve President Biden’s emissions targets and keep up with rising electricity demand, according to the Department of Energy (DOE), which predicts a geothermal boom by then.
Geothermal energy is a clean energy source that runs continuously on heat from beneath the surface of the Earth. By 2030, the cost of geothermal electricity is predicted to drop from $100 per megawatt-hour to as low as $60 per megawatt-hour because of advancements in drilling technology, placing it more or less on level with other energy sources.
According to reports, Ford is switching from large electric cars to more affordable, smaller EVs to compete with Chinese producers like BYD.
