Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Fervo Energy’s IPO upsizing is a classic case of “investors asking for more” – a phrase that sounds suspiciously like “we didn’t think this through.” Enhanced geothermal energy is not new, but the company’s confidence in its fundraising is. The IPO upsizing is a reminder that even in the energy sector, hype can be a powerful driver.
