A geothermal energy start-up plans to invent a wave drill, that can penetrate 12.4 miles in the Earth's crust, releasing virtually unlimited amounts of clean energy. Quaise Energy, a startup out of MIT, based in Boston and Houston, recently secured $40 million in funding to help it get the first drilling rig off the drawing board. The system works by drilling down to base rock, then firing high-power millimeter waves into the ground, without the need for complex mechanical drills that are limited by the pressure and intense heat deep into the crust.
