- Fervo Energy, a geothermal power developer, has filed for an initial public offering in the US.
- The Houston-based company aims to raise an estimated $250 million and plans to list on Nasdaq under the symbol FRVO.
- Fervo uses enhanced geothermal systems to expand clean energy access and reported a net loss of $70.5 million in 2025.

Can Fervo scale its 24/7 power fast enough to satisfy the insatiable energy demands of the AI boom? Is the current geothermal gold rush a sound investment for the energy transition or a high-risk gamble? As geothermal 'fracking' expands, can technology prevent the seismic events that have shut down past projects? By adapting oil-and-gas drilling, can geothermal unlock a truly inexhaustible clean energy source beneath our feet?
