If a hacker wants to take out a power grid, they can target a single conventional power plant but it is much harder to knock out a decentralized grid extending across entire communities.
Phoenix, for example, could add 3.8 gigawatts of data center capacity without building a single new conventional power plant. Geothermal resources have enormous potential to provide consistent power.
They therefore serve to refine variable electricity generation from renewable energy sources (such as photovoltaics and wind) and, just like conventional power plants, supply controllable electricity ...
Quaise Energy reports new insights into designing superhot geothermal plants in two recent papers. The geothermal plants of ...
To get around this as well as speed up production, Core Power plans to use Generation 4 reactor design combined with conventional modular shipbuilding methods to crank out floating nuclear plants ...
