Scientists Unveil Radical Plan to Drill Into a Volcano For Near-Unlimited Energy::undefined
i always thought the problem with this geothermal-delivered-to-surface was transmitting the power over long distances…
course, this article is really just about drilling into a magma chamber and the volcano not going boom
Spin a turbine, generate electricity, transmit via HVDC?
Don’t worry, water boils, steam spins turbine.
There is no possibility of this ever backfiring in the slightest way, like oh say awakening something sleeping deep in the earth’s crust. :-P
I’m less concerned about that and more concerned about supervillains building lairs.
These guys will do anything except using hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear energy
There’s nothing wrong with thermal energy plants. They are real and with companies like Eavor making real commercial plants using closed-loops there’s a lot of stuff happening in the space right now.
Yeah what’s with the weird fixation on magma over there at the uh… *checks notes* Krafla Magma Testbed Organization?
You realise geothermal is included in the category of clean, green energy? And Iceland has been pioneering the field for ages?
Yo I’m doing the same thing in my Oxygen Not Included playthrough right now
I think I’ll take “a real commercial plant” from Eavor rather than this, thank you.
Near-unlimited as in “renewable”, right x) ?
You can throw your trash in the lava to create more.
You get a bonus smokey flavor, and that is how stars are made.
Renewable in the sense of solar, by the time it runs out we’ll have bigger things to worry about
Isn’t this when the lava demon things jump out and cause some ruckus?
I wonder if it will make the volcano more stable.
MUAHAHAHAHA!
