Description
Unlimited energy is just 10 kilometers below our feet so why don’t we have it?
In this episode, we’re joined by Max Werner, Founder of Hades Mining, a deep-tech entrepreneur developing breakthrough drilling technology to unlock geothermal power.
Max shares a staggering reality:
“The deepest hole on the planet… took 20 to 30 years to drill… and cost something like 500 million.”
The insight? If we can reliably drill to 10km and cut costs, we could unlock virtually unlimited energy.
Key takeaways:
• The $500M drilling problem holding geothermal back
• Why depth changes the entire energy equation
• How new drilling tech could make energy everywhere viable
Tune in to discover how Hades Mining aims to break the 10km barrier and reshape the future of energy.
