I Bet Geothermal is Going Nuclear | Unusual Bets

November 10, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

Is geothermal the next big energy trade of the AI era? Former hedge fund analyst Gabe Marshank explains why enhanced geothermal energy could become the most overlooked investment opportunity in power markets, and how fracking technology finally made it economic. On this episode of Unusual Bets, host Arthur Ballesteros sits down with Gabe Marshank, author of the Market Maven newsletter at MarketWise. Gabe called the nuclear power trade early through Talen Energy. Now he lays out his thesis on enhanced geothermal systems (EGS): a 24/7, carbon-free power source with near-zero fuel costs, arriving just as AI data centers push electricity demand to record highs.
