  1. Quaise Energy will use a 1MW gyrotron to speed-drill through granite and basalt bedrock down to an unprecedented 20Km where it's 500C and water becomes supercritically heated. This provides the high-density energy required by industry and usable domestically too.
    Ultra-deep geothermal energy is available _everywhere worldwide_; although some folk live near volcanoes so they don't have to go this far.
    Quaise are for the rest of us.

  2. Some ancient navigator once said, "Always secure your vessel with two anchors."
    It is reassuring to see that the diversity of humanity is resulting in two lines (my own arbitrary division) of development activity related to our collective survival as a species: ending our burning of carbon sources to limit global heating on Earth; and beginning to more thoroughly explore the universe beyond.

    Quaise Energy will use it to access ultra-deep geothermal energy worldwide.
