Next generation geothermal in 2026: Fervo's Cape Station, Eavor's Geretsried, and the hyperscaler offtake that ended the dormancy
Enhanced geothermal systems and closed loop designs broke into commercial operation between 2024 and 2026. Fervo, Eavor, Sage, and Quaise have converted shale era drilling, the IRA tax stack, BLM lease acceleration, and Google plus Meta offtake into a credible megawatt pipeline through 2030.
Geothermal moved from a 4 gigawatt domestic curiosity to a credible firm clean power option between 2024 and 2026. Fervo Energy commissioned the 3.5 megawatt Project Red pilot in Nevada in 2023, validated commercial scale enhanced geothermal at Cape Station Phase I in Beaver County, Utah in 2024, and is building Cape Station to 400 megawa...
Submarine Cable Economics and Security 2026: The Fragile Backbone of the Hyperscaler Internet
Roughly 600 subsea cables carry 99 percent of intercontinental traffic, yet four manufacturers, four installers, and a thinning insurance market sit downstream of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, while Red Sea, Baltic, and Taiwan Strait incidents reprice the network's geopolitical risk.
The global submarine cable system, mapped at roughly 600 in service systems and about 1.6 million route kilometres by TeleGeography, has quietly become the most concentrated piece of critical infrastructure in the digital economy. Hyperscalers now finance more than 70 percent of new transatlantic and trans Pacific capacity, four cable man...
