126: Matthew Houde | Co-Founder Of Quaise Energy - The Solution To Deep Geothermal

🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/matthew-houde/

The following is a conversation with Matthew Houde. 

Matthew is the co-founder of a business that is developing a new drilling technology that could allow the world to access the deep geothermal heat beneath our feet.  This is best consumed alongside the episode with Carlos Araque, Matthew’s co-founder at Quaise energy.

The subject of geothermal energy is deeply interesting to me. I think it could well be one of the most important disruptive innovations of this generation and it is precisely companies like Quaise who could be the winners from this disruption.
