Journalist Miles O’Brien meets the scientists, innovators and problem solvers tackling some of the world’s most urgent challenges. He travels the globe to learn how science and ingenuity are dealing with issues such as extreme heat, methane emissions from cattle, brain disorders and shrinking water supplies.
Beneath our feet lies a nearly endless supply of clean energy. Miles O’Brien traces the unlikely rise of enhanced geothermal power, from a Cold War-era experiment at Los Alamos to Texas oil fields, where veteran frackers repurpose drilling technology to tap hot rock instead of crude. With billion-dollar startups and oil majors now betting on it, geothermal may finally be ready to reshape the grid.
