We get back to geothermal and net zero this week. How can drilling and drillers be part of the solution for ambitious electrification goals in the United States? Host Brock Yordy talks about the win-win of geothermal drilling. 

“This all comes back to our ‘net zero’ goals,” Yordy says. “It is one full circle, and it’s something that we all have to be thinking about and understanding. That’s why, us as a drilling industry getting to contribute to anything that has to do with increasing our net zero goals is invaluable.” 

This episode covers: 

• Clarifying proper fit for PPE used in drilling, construction 
• The Inflation Reduction Act and what it means for geothermal and other drilling trades 
• Strengthening U.S. energy security 
• Geothermal’s role in decarbonizing U.S. energy sources and meeting “net zero” goals 
• How “net zero” electrification efforts can benefit the drilling industry 
• How climate change affects drilling and the drilling industry 
• Growth prospects for geothermal and ground-source heat pumps 
• The need for more drillers in geothermal in New York and elsewhere
