Jun 21, 2022 - Why This Fusion Tech May Be a Geothermal Energy Breakthrough
Why Fusion is the Key to the Future of Geothermal Energy. Geothermal energy has the potential to power the world. However, it hasn`t been the hottest renewable energy option because drilling deep enough into the earth is difficult and costly. A startup has recently unearthed a solution: A gyrotron heat ray to melt rocks (sort of). This is a well-established nuclear fusion technology being reapplied to geothermal energy. Could it unlock the true potential of geothermal energy and make it a better renewable energy source than solar and wind?
