In this episode, I chat with Quaise CEO Carlos Araque about
unlocking geothermal energy on a planetary scale by drilling
miles into the Earth’s crust. He explains how his company’s
technology vaporizes rock with microwaves to reach depths where
intense heat sends the water supercritical, packing ten times the
energy density of conventional geothermal. The ultimate goal:
persuading the oil and gas industry to put its capital and
expertise toward mining heat rather than fuels.
