the russians did it
it was expensive as an undertaking
it is absolutely not a dead end
you get to earths heat and you're done
you can go to the enxt level
not really possible with current technology if you arent by a fault line
look at all those extremophile bastards living it up in zero sunlight near vents under the ocean
they give no shits
plants and animals
and extremely expensive
it's actually been done already
and with current materials can be done way better
and more efficient
1989
over 12 km
drills started warping aka more than enough heat coming through to install a steam engine
yeah its possible but not generally feasible for mass production or sustainable with materials needed
whho needs nuclear when you can do this cheaply( hopefuly in the near future)
whats your problem with nuclear?
I like molten salt reactors
since uranium will eventually run out
wont run out for another 1000 years
at least with conventional supplies
we need different toys for when the shit hits the fan
1000 years is a very tight window
@James Connolly It's not RBMK
that's my problem
lol
best reactor in world
iwould rather rbmk than burning gas or oil
In a hypothetical nearfuture iceage, these babies will be invaluable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator
russians
holy fuck
