If the people involved in this project don’t do a maniacal laugh at least once during the process, I’ll be very disappointed.

The amount of energy is definitely finite.

Sure but on a human scale?

I mean, even the output will be quite limited by the hydro lines they send down and the strength of the pump. But it’s free thermal energy that’s being harvested and the energy will not diminish during the life of the materials they build. It’s really cool, if you want to learn a bit more, the David Roberts went to Iceland to talk to some people for the Volts Podcast a few months ago

A genuine Bob Ross-level happy accident hitting the magma before.
I’m curious where full production at this new plant would leave the nation as a whole, given the 90% for residential usage and 70% of overall use of geothermal. That with extra efficiency is sort of the holy grail for renewables, since batteries are no longer central to resiliency (short of maintenance, of course). 100% uptime at constant output with zero emissions in excess of a nation’s needs would be amazing.

This feel like one of these evil mad scientist films, or the start of a disaster film.
