Big moves @TimMLatimer and @fervoenergy team!
Important step for our 24/7 carbon-free energy plans: geothermal power is now flowing into the grid that supports our Nevada data centers. Our project with @fervoenergy is the first of its kind globally, using new techniques to tap the heat of the earth.
