Sage Geosystems is a Houston-based geothermal energy startup founded in 2020 that develops next-generation, pressure-based geothermal technology for power generation and long-duration energy storage. Their systems create artificial underground reservoirs in hot, dry rock to harness both heat and pressure for efficient electricity production.

Cindy Taff, the CEO of Sage Geosystems, is focused on advancing the deployment of her firm's energy-storage solutions worldwide. She discusses the complexities of using the same tools to unlock clean energy as are used to drill for oil, and explains why she sees the so-called "shale revolution" as a harbinger of a forthcoming "geothermal revolution." Cindy speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

US payrolls rose in January by the most in more than a year and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, suggesting the labor market continued to stabilize at the start of 2026.
Employers added 130,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate declined to 4.3%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Wednesday. That followed revisions to the prior year, which showed a marked slowdown in hiring. Job gains averaged just 15,000 a month last year, down from the initially reported 49,000 pace.

The report suggests the labor market is finding its footing after a year marked by rising unemployment and minimal hiring. While economists expect hiring to remain generally sluggish in 2026, more clarity around the impact of President Donald Trump’s economic policies and lower borrowing costs could encourage some employers to boost headcount.

The January data reinforces Federal Reserve officials’ inclination to keep interest rates on hold for now. Many traders appeared to push out their timeline for the next rate cut to July from June.
In leaving rates unchanged last month, Chair Jerome Powell cited signs of steadying in the job market.

“Coming off of a hiring recession in 2025, this is welcome news,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “I think Fed Chair Powell was right — the labor market appears to be stabilizing.”

Today's show features:
Constance Hunter, Chief Economist at the EIU (Economist Intelligence Unit), on the late-arriving January nonfarm payrolls report
Aaron Jagdfeld, Chairman, President and CEO of Generac, on earnings, the state of manufacturing in America, and US trade policy impact
Bloomberg News White House Editor Jordan Fabian on President Donald Trump reportedly mulling an exit from the North American trade pact that he helped negotiate, the USMCA
Lauren Sanfilippo, Senior Investment Strategist, for Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank, on US consumer resilience and private sector growth

United States Antimony Corporation, a leading producer and processor of antimony, zeolite, and other critical minerals, on Tuesday announced a new joint venture together with Americas Gold and Silver Corporation to construct a new state-of-the-art hydromet processing facility. The project will commence on lands being contributed to the joint venture located immediately adjacent to Americas active silver, copper, and antimony mines. US Antimony is the only fully integrated antimony company in the world outside of China and Russia, while Americas Gold and Silver is known for producing silver, copper, and other metals from high-grade operations in the US and Mexico.


The announcement comes a week after the US and its allies said they’re considering price floors as a way to shore up a domestic supply of key metals outside of China. Gary Evans, Chairman and CEO of US Antimony, and Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO of Americas Gold & Silver Corporation, detail the project and its impact on national security with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
