Meta strikes deal for advanced geothermal to fuel AI push

Meta just inked a deal with XGS Energy to develop 150 megawatts of advanced geothermal in New Mexico, aimed squarely at powering its AI infrastructure. Not wind. Not solar. Not oil. Drill-powered data for Zuck’s empire. This next-gen geothermal doesn’t need water.

It doesn’t emit carbon. Its deep-earth heat turned into grid power: quietly becoming Big Tech’s favorite energy cheat code. The project could supply 4% of all U.S. geothermal by the end of the decade. Small in watts, massive in signal. AI isn’t just eating the internet. It’s redrawing the energy map.
