    Geothermal is one of the few technologies that could serve as a drop-in replacement for nuclear, not to mention coal and gas. Hopefully at least one approach succeeds.

    Quaise seems the most interesting, as it’s basically a phaser drill.

      It is interesting, though I’m dubious about Quaise without an actual full-scale test of it. Lots of things can go wrong between lab and full industrial use.
