While the Trump administration's recent Energy Emergency declaration sent shockwaves through energy markets, a revolutionary energy source bubbling beneath Utah's desert floor remains largely unknown to investors. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has quietly invested billions and holds approximately 360MW capacity in this technology, with major tech giants following suit. Now, at the 60th Berkshire annual meeting happening this weekend, energy insiders are watching closely for signals about what could be the biggest energy breakthrough since the shale revolution. Could this be the rare opportunity where both traditional energy executives and climate advocates finally agree?
The Department of Energy say it could power America for millions of years.
And both grizzled oilmen and clean energy supporters love it: Energy Secretary Chris Wright called it "an awesome resource," while Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates are all directly invested.
In a remote corner of Utah's Black Rock Desert, near the Wah Wah Mountains, something extraordinary is happening. Fervo Energy's Cape Geothermal Power Project in Beaver County, Utah is set to generate up to 2 gigawatts of electricity—enough to power over 2 million homes once fully operational. This massive project gained significant momentum when the Bureau of Land Management held its largest geothermal lease sale since 2008, with nearly 218,000 acres of public lands auctioned to developers, netting more than $7.8 million in high bids. Despite the significant activity in this sector, the revolutionary technology behind these developments remains largely unknown to the investing public.
Deep beneath our feet lies a virtually limitless energy source that could potentially power America for over 30,000 years. This isn't science fiction—it's enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), a breakthrough adaptation of technologies pioneered in the shale drilling revolution. While traditional geothermal energy has been limited to volcanic regions, EGS can work anywhere by drilling 2-6 miles deep where rock temperatures reach approximately 400°F. Project Red, a pioneering 3.5-MW EGS system in northern Nevada developed by Fervo Energy and Google, is already operational and supplying power to local grids that serve Google's data centers. The key innovation lies in its horizontal doublet well system design that leverages technology from the unconventional oil and gas industry—demonstrating that "no major technical barriers exist" to widespread EGS deployment.
"For AI... We have to produce massive electricity that we don't have. Nuclear has become very safe, very good." - President Trump
Here's why nuclear stocks are expected to skyrocket under Trump's second term.
Some of the world's most successful investors and companies have already positioned themselves to capitalize on this opportunity. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) has invested over $34 billion in renewable energy projects, including approximately 360MW of geothermal capacity as part of its diverse energy portfolio. At the 60th Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting happening this weekend in Omaha, investors are eager to hear how Buffett's unparalleled track record of identifying transformative technologies might apply to the geothermal sector. Other major players like Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Google, Meta Platforms, and Chevron have also made significant investments in geothermal technology. In 2021, Chevron announced its expansion into geothermal operations, including a collaboration with Baseload Capital, while Google's partnership with Fervo Energy for their Project Red installation has demonstrated the commercial viability of enhanced geothermal systems.
Enhanced geothermal has emerged as a rare renewable energy source favored by the Trump administration. On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a declaration of a National Energy Emergency that specifically listed "geothermal heat" as one of the domestic energy sources considered essential for a reliable, diversified, and affordable energy supply. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a strong advocate for geothermal energy, stated during his confirmation hearing that geothermal is "an enormous, abundant energy resource" that "could better energize our country, improve the quality of life for everyone, help enable AI, manufacturing, reshoring and stop the rise of our electricity prices." This bipartisan support puts geothermal in a unique position compared to other renewable technologies. According to Global Energy Monitor, 1.16 gigawatts of geothermal capacity could come online by the end of Trump's current term, making it a strategic investment opportunity in America's evolving energy landscape.
The explosive growth of artificial intelligence requires massive amounts of reliable, 24/7 power—something that intermittent sources like wind and solar cannot provide alone. This explains why tech giants are racing to secure energy sources for their power-hungry data centers that can use as much energy as entire cities. Google has already partnered with Fervo Energy in the world's first corporate agreement to develop geothermal power specifically for data centers, with Project Red now operational and powering Google's Nevada facilities. Energy Secretary Wright has specifically highlighted geothermal's potential to "help enable AI" as part of America's energy strategy. Geothermal energy's reliability makes it particularly valuable in an "AI arms race that necessitates 24/7 power availability," according to recent industry reports. Fervo's testing suggests their geothermal systems may even store energy for hours or days and deliver it back over similar periods, effectively functioning as giant, long-lasting batteries.
For those who recognize this opportunity early, the potential rewards could be extraordinary. Similar technological breakthroughs in energy have created fortunes—like EOG Resources' 1,000%+ gains, Continental Resources' 700% surge, and Southwestern Energy's astonishing 3,700% return. Industry insiders are comparing EGS to the early days of the shale boom, which transformed America's energy landscape and created billions in wealth for early investors. A 2007 MIT study estimated that with suitable investments and improvements to existing technology, EGS could supply up to 10 percent of America's electricity needs within 50 years at prices competitive with fossil-fuel generation. What makes this investment opportunity particularly compelling is its alignment with Buffett's famous investment philosophy: finding undervalued assets with tremendous long-term potential. As Berkshire Hathaway's stock hits record highs (reaching $809,350 per Class A share on May 2, 2025), outperforming the broader market with a 19% gain this year, investors looking for stability amid market uncertainty are increasingly turning to Buffett's value-oriented approach—an approach that notably includes substantial renewable energy investments.
Have researchers at MIT just unlocked the "holy grail" of clean energy?
Scientists have recently made a breakthrough in a radical new power source we're calling "Helios" technology.
This game-changing tech could create up to 100 million times more energy than coal, oil, or natural gas.
It produces no carbon emissions or long-lived radioactive waste.
And - most incredibly of all - its primary fuel is the most abundant element in the universe.
In other words, this marvel of physics has the potential to generate virtually limitless energy.
And scientists at an obscure startup have just made a breakthrough that could trigger mass adoption.
This startup could become the Nvidia of "Helios" Technology.
