New research and development of direct energy drilling practices is showing greater potential for geothermal power. Until now, geothermal has mostly existed only in places like Iceland where heat and steam are easily accessible near the surface. But drilling deeper into hotter rock and creating reservoirs for heat exchange can allow geothermal to be developed almost anywhere in the world.

It’s wild that they built a drill that vaporizes rock then melts it.

If it’s just like the picture, who is making a 30 mile wide hole on their land to be able to say the ground is hot lava?

I fear to go in those geothermal power stations. They dug too greedily and too deep. And I know what they awoke in the darkness.
Drums, drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming.

In a miles-deep hole one would expect the displaced rock vapor to recondense in the space outside the waveguide and clog the hole.
