This audio describes Google's effort to power its operations with 24/7 carbon-free energy. While wind and solar are helpful, they are intermittent. To solve this, Google partnered with Fervo Energy on a first-of-its-kind enhanced geothermal project in Northern Nevada.

The process involves: 1. Drilling two deep horizontal wells. 2. Creating fractures in the hot rock between them. 3. Pumping cold water down one well, which heats up as it flows through the fractured rock. 4. The resulting hot water and steam rise up the second well. 5. This heat is used to generate carbon-free electricity.

This project now supplies power to the local grid, running Google's cloud region and data centers in Nevada. The audio concludes by stating that this technology has the potential to meet a significant portion of global energy demand, bringing both Google and the world closer to running on constant carbon-free energy.
