Superhot geothermal energy could unearth big power boost for the AI era

cnbc.com Diana Olick 2025-12-23 06:14:53

Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years, powering heating systems as early as the 14th century. It's getting a big upgrade. Beyond geothermal, there's superhot geothermal, which uses ultra-deep drilling to access extremely hot rocks, extracting 5 to 10 times more power per well. Quaise Energy, a Massachusetts-based startup, is in the market developing the technology, which involves an electromagnetic beam that vaporizes rock.

This was 33 years ago, but it’s still incredibly relevant for anyone designing with AI. Weiser’s rant Weiser was speaking at an MIT Media Lab event on “interface agents”.
