How many Theranos's will occur before we stop giving column inches to these cranks, let alone finance? This is somebody's pie-in-the-sky dream that's based on no science whatsoever. It's pure fantasy, and we're not even close to the technology to drill that deep yet. Not even in the ball park. Not even on the same continent as the ball park.
Honestly, this thread is in entirely the wrong sub-forum. Just because the energy is there doesn't make this any less pseudoscience. And that's speaking as somebody almost entirely ignorant of the mechanics of rock materials beyond a simple grasp of the variability of ductility at depth and pressure and a naïve view of temp increase with depth.
The whole bollocks about directed energy and lasers is the best bit of it all. This is Hyperloop level fantasy.
