of all utility-scale electricity production in the U.S., with the majority of the growth taking place in the 1980s.
"I double majored in geoscience, which pointed me toward geothermal energy as the most interesting discipline I could study that would maximize the impact of addressing climate change." So even a small portion of this energy, as Houde explains, can provide us with all the power we'll need in the near future.How to access Earth's energy core?
The ultimate goal of Houde and Quaise Energy is to be able to drill a large number of boreholes each year that are as deep as the, which at 40,230 feet is the deepest borehole ever dug into the earth, and eventually deeper. The tests aim to demonstrate the feasibility of using MMW drilling to reach power levels and depths that surpass earlier laboratory testing by a factor of ten and more and at lower costs.
Quaise Energy is sub-recipient to a $4.95M grant from the ARPA-e agency within the DOE to execute an experimental lab campaign that demonstrates the MMW drilling approach at power levels and length scales that exceed previous MIT testing by a factor of 10 and more.Millimeter-Wave Drilling proposes to replace mechanical drilling methods with an energy-matter interaction that can replace most key functions of a conventional drilling operation.
Why dig a hole? Just go to Yellowstone. Plenty of water and steam. Then tell Biden it's Green Energy. This way you get a tax break as a bonus. That is all.
