Comment on Startup to drill deepest holes ever to unlock nearly limitless geothermal energy

Comments

I heard this episode of How I built this, about company Quaise on how they plan to drill to unprecedented depths using new technologies involving drilling with microwaves to be able to tap into geothermal energy. The idea of repurposing coal powered plants and leveraging the turbines that were already built, then drilling holes next to these plants to generate geothermal energy is absolutely brilliant. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of this company.
