Quaise says it has a plan, and the technology, to drill deeper than ever before and unlock the vast geothermal power of the Earth to re-power fossil-fired electricity plants with green energy - Quaise

So releasing geothermal heat won’t contribute to global warming?
Thar she blows!
This sounds like the opening premise for a Roland Emmerich film.
Uh, won’t ultra-deep geothermal DRILL POINTS cause EARTHQUAKES?
Gore on the core said it was “several million degrees”. Who do you believe /sarc
Global cooling!
There’s a name for a place which allows magma’s heat to rise to the surface.
It’s called a volcano.
So, they just need to drill down far enough to get to the point where it is hot enough. About 3 miles.
As soon as they get just one of these things to work, oil futures will take a major hit.
I put their chances at success at about 1%. Big payoff if they really do hit. Like in poker, table odds versus hand odds. Table odds are $1Billion to chase $1Trillion [1000:1], hand odds appear to be 100:1. Worth it.
Didn’t the Weekly World News warn us about doing this?

Interesting. Nothing is free. The heat deep in the Earth is largely due to the Moon’s tidal influences. If a system of tapping that energy is feasible and put into use it will to some tiny extent begin to slow the Moon’s orbital velocity.
Just tell Brandon that the quickest way to China is through the earth’s core. Oh - he’d screw it up anyway.
This is what will happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_in_the_World
I have always said someone can invent a technology that turns garbage and air pollution in to limitless energy for free and only exhaust pure water for the world and they would block it. The tree huggers don’t WANT any energy growth and they won’t allow this energy source. While this company spends time doing something practical, the Europeans are spending a few trillion building another boondoggle fusion test reactor.
Transmit plasma argon miles through a wave guide? Big step from blasting holes in basalt in a lab.
If there are mobile super critical fluids at depth, and there seem to be, get back to me on your pressure control plans. Every hole I ever drilled I saw as potentially opening Pandora’s Box of horrors if pressured fluids were not contained and controlled.
The deepest I have actually drilled, meaning doing the engineering and being project manager, is right at 30,000 feet so I guess my experience in this regard may not be relevant to the plans of these brilliant professors.
There is a passage in Genesis that has always caught my attention. Two of them actually. We think we actually know what all this means and some of the suggestions or implications about that understanding are just non-sensical.
Genesis 1:6-8
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Some think the Firmament is just the heavens, verse 8. I’m not so certain of that. I don’t think WE know.
And the account of the flood paraphrased but referenced here:
https://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c010.html
The “fountains of the great deep” are mentioned before the “windows of heaven,” indicating either relative importance or the order of events.
What are the “fountains of the great deep?” This phrase is used only in Genesis 7:11. “Fountains of the deep” is used in Genesis 8:2, where it clearly refers to the same thing, and Proverbs 8:28, where the precise meaning is not clear. “The great deep” is used three other times: Isaiah 51:10, where it clearly refers to the ocean; Amos 7:4, where God’s fire of judgment is said to dry up the great deep, probably the oceans; and Psalm 36:6 where it is used metaphorically of the depth of God’s justice/judgment. “The deep” is used more often, and usually refers to the oceans (e.g., Genesis 1:2; Job 38:30, 41:32; Psalm 42:7, 104:6; Isaiah 51:10, 63:13; Ezekiel 26:19; Jonah 2:3), but sometimes to subterranean sources of water (Ezekiel 31:4, 15). The Hebrew word (mayan) translated “fountains” means “fountain, spring, well.”[1]
So, the “fountains of the great deep” are probably oceanic or possibly subterranean sources of water. In the context of the flood account, it could mean both.
Wiki --> "Project Mohole was an attempt in the early 1960s to drill through the Earth's crust to obtain samples of the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho, the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. The project was intended to provide an earth science complement to the high-profile Space Race. While .
Led by a group of scientists called the American Miscellaneous Society with funding from the National Science Foundation, the project suffered from political and scientific opposition, mismanagement, and cost overruns. The U.S. House of Representatives defunded it in 1966. By then a program of sediment drilling had branched from Project Mohole to become the Deep Sea Drilling Project of the National Science Foundation."
