A technological advance from the United States promises to revolutionize the way we extract energy, using a laser capable of drilling into the Earth at depths never before reached.
The United States has announced an innovative project that is making waves: the creation of a laser capable of drilling into the Earth to unimaginable depths, all to extract energy that, until now, is practically unknown to humanity. The idea is simple, but extremely ambitious: reaching the depths of the planet to access intense heat, capable of generating clean, powerful and, most importantly, inexhaustible energy.
This laser is not a simple drilling tool. Imagine a beam of light so powerful that it can pass through the Earth's crust as if it were paper. They laser millimeter vaporizes rocks as it advances, eliminating the need for traditional drilling methods, which wear out at great depths. THE goal is to reach underground regions where the heat is so extreme which could generate up to 10 times more energy than any known geothermal source.
A the energy geothermal, which until now has been underutilized due to technological limitations
The project, led by the company Qualcomm Energy, aims to explore geothermal power in a way never seen before. Geothermal energy, which has so far been underutilized due to technological limitations, may finally have its full potential unlocked with this innovation. And best of all: this the energy can be accessed anywhere, at any time, without depending on weather conditions.

Queme Energy's idea is simple but brilliant
The Earth is an immense source of heat, from the core to the crust, and this heat has been latent for millennia. Queme Energy's idea is simple but brilliant: drilling deep into the Earth to access this heat and transform it into usable energy, continuously and on a large scale. The company has already developed three revolutionary approaches to maximize the extraction of this the energy, the most daring being the concept of “permeability clouds”.
Immense amount of the energy
This model involves creating controlled microfractures in super-hot rocks, allowing heat to move more easily to the surface. The process works as follows: the millimetric laser drills into the depths and injects cold water into the hot rocks. This causes the water to turn into steam, creating microfractures that, when ascending, generate an immense amount of energy, which can be captured and used.
Between 2025 and 2026, Queme Energy plans to carry out its first field tests on the Newberry volcano
And the energy revolution already has a date set to begin. Between 2025 and 2026, Queme Energy plans carry out your first field tests at Newberry Volcano in Oregon. This location will be the epicenter of this new energy era, where the technology will be tested and validated. If the project is successful, it will open doors to a more sustainable future, where the energy Generated directly from Earth's heat could help combat climate change and create a greener, more habitable planet.
Stay tuned, because what is coming promises to change not only the direction of energy, but the future of humanity as a whole. THE Earth, with all its immense heat reserves, can become our greatest ally on this journey towards a more sustainable future. And all this thanks to a laser that will drill the Earth in search of a the energy that we don't even know yet.

I was wondering how they are going to collect the excavation debris at these temperatures, since the laser goes deeper than any material.
Hahaha I can't believe someone was able to ask that question.
This **** college student doesn't even know how to read a text. He didn't understand that waste is disintegrated by heat. Explain it to this mule.
In fact, disintegration does not exist, the right thing to do is evaporate, the rocks will become an emulsion of gases, I fear that these gases are greenhouse gases, but if they are not, they will be floating silicates and will later clump together into stone powder.
You were rude with a simple question.

Does no one see the danger of exploring so deep into the earth?
Are we not at risk of the core cooling over time and making the planet uninhabitable?
I've been thinking about it, but not necessarily cooling, which could happen and create a fracture in the crust and create a volcano or trigger eruptions in previously "dormant" volcanoes, further destabilizing nature. I don't know. It could be interesting, but at the same time it could trigger a series of problems that wouldn't exist without it.
We hope that with this new type of exploration they do not bring to the surface of the earth undesirable things like carcinogenic radiation capable of eliminating a large part of humanity.
We have energy from the sun, wind, water and oil. Why drill into the ground? Man seeks his own destruction.
