Molten rock will not crack and the planet will not split in two, gravity will hold it together.
It will be interesting to see how well it works and what the actual impact will be, as opposed to the hyped impact that we're seeing in this thread.

The earth will crack to the core and the globe splits apart. Then they can blame it on climate change.

Just send a nuke back down to heat it up again, like how they plan for Mars.

I think I remember that episode. Oh wow, that would have been 40 years ago and that show was old even then! Somehow the Doctor landed on an alternative earth, where they were experimenting with drilling deep into the earth. That destroyed the alternative earth. The Doctor managed to escape back to our earth and warn people not to drill too deep into the earth. He stopped a project just in time on our earth that destroyed the alternative earth.

i’ll prolly get slapped for this, but
once they reach a depth hot enough to create superheated steam, why keep drilling?
volume?

To be clear, I don’t know that this will work nor do the people proposing to invest so heavily in it.
On paper, this is one of the most intriguing ideas out there and it has been for a very long time but a cool idea is no guarantee of success with so many uncertainties.

True, but the plus side is then we won’t need to worry about climate change at all.

That last not coming true wasn’t the fault of the nuclear advocates, but the fault of governments and lawsuit happy envirowackos.

Why drill? Can’t they just go to an active volcano?
