Revival: Milford Utah’s Geothermal Future
What happens when the next generation of clean energy lands in a small rural town?
After suffering from economic “boom and bust” cycles of mining, railroad, and hog production, Milford, Utah was ready for change.
This documentary explores how Fervo Energy’s cutting-edge geothermal project is breathing new life into the community, providing 24/7 green power, stable clean energy careers, and tripling local business in just a few years. Discover how a project developer’s connection to the community and commitment to hiring locals is fundamentally changing the town’s economic outlook, and how oil and gas workers are meaningfully transitioning to a better future.
Revival is supported by the Clean Economy Project.
