    I assume the Paris value is only that low when their nuclear plants aren’t shut, down like basically all of '23

  saw temperatures at the bottom of the boreholes reach 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191 C)

  Why is it so hot there at only 2km deep?

  I mean, instead of mining Uran, refining it, bother with toxic waste in each step, why not harness the power of natural radioactive decay?

  Btw, weren’t effective MASER drills invented a short while ago?
