Hotter is better for geothermal power. But the electronics needed to drill directional wells dies above 200°C
Leveraging extreme space exploration technology, Hephae will double the efficiency of geothermal and make it cheaper than natural gas by going hotter and deeper.
Geothermal offers 24/7 carbon-free energy, and by tapping just 1% of the world’s super-hot rock, we could generate 8x the world’s electricity needs for many centuries.

I interviewed 12 very successful founders about how they developed leadership skills? The answers surprised me…Nope, not HBS, McKinsey or training programs.
The answer was that they had to organize volunteers at a young age. Some led church groups, student orgs, local activism, science fairs or local sports teams. All had to get other people to do things without any real authority and no comp.

Women make up half of our population but women’s health research has been understudied and underfunded.
That’s why I’m signing an Executive Order to ensure women’s health is prioritized across the federal research portfolio and budget.

BREAKING
Preben Bang oplyser til @PernilleVermund , at man kan brænde en koran trykt af et ikke godkendt islamisk trossamfund
Smuthul som regeringen ikke har spottet. Og desuden træls for @Politiforbundet
For hvem ved hvilke islamiske organisationer, der er godkendt?
Snart klar til 1. behandling og debat om #koranlov
Status #dkpol
@alternativet_ er gået til nej
Kritikken fra @amnestydk @justitiaorg og især også @LouiseHolck og @menneskeret er stadig relevant trods justering.

Glad to announce that after the meeting I hosted with @RTErdogan & @SwedishPM, President Erdogan has agreed to forward #Sweden's accession protocol to the Grand National Assembly ASAP & ensure ratification. This is an historic step which makes all #NATO Allies stronger & safer.
