Drilling the deepest hole in history: Unlocking geothermal energy
MIT spin-off Quaise is trying to use hijacked fusion technology to drill some of the deepest holes in history, unlocking clean, virtually limitless, supercritical geothermal energy that can re-power fossil-fueled power plants all over the world. But how does it work? And are they even close to…

PeteSolar and wind continue to drop in $/kilowatt hour, but we will always need generators that fill the gap when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. I've been interested in some promising trials by an MIT spinoff company, Quaise Energy, that has improved conventional and laser drilling to allow deep geothermal, which theoretically is quite promising. More than SMR, this seems like something that could be feasible and scalable.
