Heat Beneath Your Feet | Sai Rao, MSx ’26

We're building the most energy-hungry technology in human history, artificial intelligence, while racing to decarbonize our planet. What if the answer isn't just above ground in solar panels and wind turbines, but beneath us in rock that's been holding heat for 4.5 billion years? Geothermal energy can be the firm, 24/7 source that can power our digital future and provide the energy security that we need. Speaker: Sai Rao, MSx '26 The LOWkeynotes Program features a series of nine-minute 'keynote-style' presentations from Stanford Graduate School of Business students about an idea they think could change lives, organizations, and the world. This presentation was delivered for the March 2026 LOWkeynotes season.
