In this episode, Project InnerSpace’s founder and executive director Jamie Beard shares her confidence in our ability to forge the missing links to tap into geothermal energy’s abundance. This episode is all about geothermal energy, so stay tuned and enjoy host Chelsea Henderson's conversation with Jamie Beard!
