4/4 No doubt many questions (and doubts!) about Quaise's plans will arise in your mind. Luckily many of the most popular ones have been answered by the Quaise CEO already:

3/4 We've never been able to drill that deep because we use rotary mechanical drills which fail down there. But now a reputable particle physicist--who has already proved the technique works--intends to use a 1MW or larger gyrotron to _'beam drill'_ down to 20km. A company called Quaise Energy has formed to commercialise the technology:

2/4 The best energy source is ultra-deep geothermal energy. It's:
* scalable
* clean
* free
* safe
* continuous
and
* truly _global_, lying beneath the poorest village as well as the richest city.
In Earth's lower crust it's uniformly about 500C. The heat comes from the radioactive decay of uranium even deeper down which has been going on continuously since the Earth was formed and which will continue for billions of years into the future.

1/4 2023: The world is in a crisis because we desperately need to use huge amounts of energy to maintain and develop our civilisation; and yet our main energy sources hitherto are destroying our climate balance.
Many have pointed out the limitations of PV, wind and wave power, including the fact that none of them is available continuously nor everywhere. Hydropower isn't reliable any more because of climate change. Nuclear takes years to build and commission.
