Bryce Carter: “The Geothermal Energy Market is Getting Hot: The Critical Role Ahead for the Heat Beneath Our Feet."
We are all familiar with wind and solar, but there is another clean energy alternative rising to the surface, Geothermal. Its abilities to provide heating, cooling, electricity and critical minerals, on a 24/7 basis, have encouraged countries worldwide to invest in its potential.
Our speaker, Bryce Carter, brings fourteen years of experience developing and administering programs to advance clean energy and environmental policies, including his current position as Geothermal Program Manager with the Colorado Energy Office. He received his BA degree from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Arts Humanities, Science and Environment; Environmental Policy and Planning.
