Next thing you know they'll be saying our sun is powered by water! 😄 Heavy water, contains deuterium. Watch the video to become an expert. A quiz will follow. 😁 Edited August 2, 2025Aug 2 by martin-w

August 17, 2025Aug 17 Kenya's geothermal program is worth paying close attention to. I'm much more intrigued by this basic/crude approach than the various exceedingly complex and tech-dependent fusion projects. Kenya already gets 90% of its electricity from geothermal and has upwards of 5x more where that came from. Lasers and other methods are being explored to try to get the drilling down deep enough, and that is something oil companies excel at so they are potentially the logical purveyors of this piece. When you get to the hot stuff it's essentially an inexhaustible and non pollution emitting source of base load heat/power.

The issue is that there's limited locations where its viable. There is a company working on a tech utilising a gyrotron drill. Gyrotrons originally designed for fusion research. Microwaves are used to drill deeper than geothermal has gone before. This would enable geothermal in almost any location. In fact, disused coal mines would be ideal. I've not heard of lasers being used. https://spectrum.ieee.org/geothermal-energy-gyrotron-quaise
