The Laser Drill Revolution

It’s not the heat underground that makes geothermal expensive, it’s the speed of the drill. In this episode, we talk to Max Werner, Founder of Hades Mining, a deep-tech entrepreneur building breakthrough drilling technology to unlock affordable geothermal and critical minerals. Max explains: “The speed… is absolutely everything in terms of drilling costs.” The longer drilling takes, the more crews, leasing, and infrastructure costs explode. Time is the real bottleneck. Key insights: • Why drilling speed drives up to 70% of project costs • How time equals money in deep energy projects • The breakthrough tech aiming to rewrite geothermal economics • Why this could impact both energy and critical minerals Tune in to discover how faster drilling could unlock cheaper, scalable clean energy.
