Zanskar Thinks 1 TW of Geothermal Power Is Being Overlooked — No Shit, Sherlock

Right, so apparently some clever bastards at Zanskar have figured out that we’ve been sitting on a metric fuck-ton of untapped geothermal energy — about 1 terawatt of it. Yeah, that’s right, while everyone’s off waving their green flags about wind turbines and solar panels like it’s 1999, there’s literal molten rock under our feet just begging to be turned into electricity. But no, humans would rather play “spot the rare mineral” in deserts for battery farms instead.

So Zanskar’s out there with its fancy-pants AI and seismic data modeling, poking holes in the Earth (scientifically, not drunkenly), trying to tell the world, “Hey dipshits, there’s power underground!” Their big idea: make geothermal exploration less of a blindfolded game of darts and more like data-driven precision surgery. Less “stick a drill in and pray” and more “let’s not waste millions because Bob had a hunch.”

They’re mapping the geothermal potential using proprietary software and predictive analysis — all so we can stop burning fossilized dinosaurs and instead use actual planet heat. Because clearly the planet is trying to cook us alive already; we might as well fight fire with, well… fire. The company’s working with investors and utilities to scale this up, basically saying there’s a gigaton of clean power staring us in the face, and we’re too bloody busy mining lithium to notice.

Honestly, if humanity had half a brain cell left, we’d have been doing this decades ago. But no — everyone’s too enchanted by shiny panels and subsidies to look down. Typical.

Reminds me of the time a manager told me to “optimise the energy servers” and then wondered why the building went dark after I turned off every non-essential system — including his office AC. Cold? Good. Now you know how geothermal feels, you useless heat sink.
