Ground Truth episodes
- Twenty Feet of Water
Tim Latimer grew up next to the last coal plant built in America. As a drilling engineer, a string of heat-damaged motors led him to geothermal energy and the realization that oil and gas technology could unlock it. Then a 2015 flood brought climate change into his own life. Episode one follows Tim from Riesel, Texas, to a Stanford application essay with a plan: no company, no investors, just an idea.

Fervo Energy delivers 24/7 carbon-free geothermal energy. But before there was a company, there was a flood, a broken motor, and a class project. Join Olivia, a Fervo newbie, as she asks the people who built it how it all happened.

About Ground Truth
From the publisher's feed
Before Fervo Energy was a company, there was a flood in Houston, a Stanford class project, and a young engineer convinced fracking technology could crack geothermal energy wide open. Ground Truth…
traces Fervo’s decade-long climb from that grad-school hunch to a multibillion-dollar IPO, told not as corporate history, but as a human one. Host Olivia Johnson, new to the company herself, talks to the founders and early team about the years nobody believed them, the breakthrough in the Nevada desert, and what is expected to be the largest next-generation geothermal project on Earth rising in Utah.
