How Fusion Tech Just Changed Geothermal Energy Forever. Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code UNDECIDED at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: incogni.com/undecided Two and a half years ago, I told you about a company using "death rays" to drill deeper into the Earth than anyone has before. The goal? Unlock cheaper and more plentiful geothermal energy for the world. Well, I just got back from Houston, Texas, where I watched them do exactly that. They melted through solid granite with millimeter waves in real time. We're not talking lab experiments anymore. This drilling operation could change how we think about geothermal energy. The heat beneath our feet could be the most versatile, reliable, and abundant energy source ever — but it's out of reach for most people. While the old joke goes that nuclear fusion is always just 30 years away, an offshoot of fusion tech may be changing the future of geothermal drilling today. So, does this team have what it takes? Or is Quaise out of its depth?
