Geothermal energy’s great, but let’s not turn the Bureau of Land Management into a geothermal babysitting service.

More government appointees? Sounds like another perk-packed bureaucracy that’s heating up taxpayer wallets.

Bridging bureaucracy and energy innovation—now that’s a geothermal hot take worth watching.

If this Task Force can cut the wait times without breaking the bank, it might just be a win for everyone.

Geothermal permits moving faster? It’s about time we let the Earth do the work instead of drowning in paperwork.

A geothermal mediator? Sounds like Congress is finally drilling down on energy bottlenecks.

Finally, a bill that turns up the heat on clean energy bureaucracy—geothermal gets its day in the sun (or rather, underground!).

We’re approving permits faster, as long as we don’t sacrifice property rights or flood federal agencies with more red tape.

This is what green justice looks like: cutting red tape so renewable energy can spark real change.
