How to Clean Coal 1/4:
Take one dirty coal-fired power station such as Drax.

4/4 No doubt many questions (and doubts!) about Quaise's plans will arise in your mind. Luckily many of the most popular ones have been answered by the Quaise CEO already:

3/4 We've never been able to drill that deep because we use rotary mechanical drills which fail down there. But now a reputable particle physicist--who has already proved the technique works--intends to use a 1MW or larger gyrotron to _'beam drill'_ down to 20km. A company called Quaise Energy has formed to commercialise the technology:

2/4 The best energy source is ultra-deep geothermal energy. It's:
* scalable
* clean
* free
* safe
* continuous
and
* truly _global_, lying beneath the poorest village as well as the richest city.
In Earth's lower crust it's uniformly about 500C. The heat comes from the radioactive decay of uranium even deeper down which has been going on continuously since the Earth was formed and which will continue for billions of years into the future.

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.

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.
