ipso facto @ 9:09 – Geothermal

Posted by Maya @ 23:57 on November 15, 2023  

We have enough volcanic heat to power the entire state if fully developed.  Problem is getting off the island.  The ocean is 13,000 ft deep between here and Maui.  For years Hawaiian Electric has tried to invent High Voltage underwater cables that will withstand that depth.  So far, no one has succeeded.  But that is their ultimate dream… to interconnect the power grids of all the islands, and power it geothermal.  Maybe in a century or two…   🙂
