00:00Bill Gates' focus is now on the source of electricity hidden beneath the ground.
00:09Dear viewers, if you like this news, please like it and share your comments.
00:14Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is one of the world's richest people. Although retired from
00:19work, he has played an important role in innovation and research worldwide through
00:23his established Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As well as donating hundreds of millions of US
00:29dollars to various charitable works. Besides, he has another identity. He is the founder of
00:35Breakthrough Energy. Bill Gates recently published an article on his blog site Gates Notes About the
00:41Source of Electricity Hidden Beneath the Ground. The article is briefly published for the audience.
00:48When my son Rory was little, we used to love visiting power plants together. It was a wonderful hobby for
00:52father and son. We always had a lot of fun seeing the huge machinery and learning how it was used
00:57to generate electricity. For a memorable trip, we went to a geothermal power plant located near the
01:02volcano named Thrinukajigur in Iceland. I remember being fascinated by the huge plumes of hot steam
01:07coming out of the ground. I was amazed to think about how humans could keep the lights on by
01:10utilizing heat from thousands of feet below the Earth's surface. I got that same old feeling when
01:15I visited the Cape Station in Beaver County, Utah, earlier this year. The world's largest advanced
01:20geothermal power future center is going to be built in Utah. Innovative Way Geothermal Energy
01:25Very few people associate geothermal energy with the United States. In fact, less than 1% of the
01:30energy produced in the U.S. comes from geothermal energy. A company called Fervo Energize trying to
01:35convert the Earth's heat into electricity. Breakthrough Energy and I are proud supporters
01:39of Fervo. I was very happy to see their great progress at the Cape Station. The company's pilot
01:44project built in Nevada launched in 2023 with a capacity of 3.5 megawatts. This power is enough to
01:50supply electricity to about 2,600 homes. The Cape Station will be much larger. Fervo has
01:55already completed the drilling of 20 out of the 24 geothermal wells planned for the first phase.
02:00It is expected that 100 megawatts of electricity will start production at this center next year.
02:04An additional 400 megawatts of electricity will be operational in 2028.
02:10Geothermal energy is one of the most promising ways to deliver reliable and affordable clean energy.
02:15To meet the world's growing energy demand, we need different ways to generate energy.
02:20Intermittent power sources like wind and solar can play an important role. We will also need
02:24energy sources that can work day and night without changing the climate. Geothermal sources and nuclear
02:28energy are such sources. Drilling 15,000 feet deep
02:32The science behind geothermal energy is quite simple. The Earth's interior is extremely hot.
02:40The deeper you go, the hotter the ground gets. If you can pump a fluid deep enough to warm it with
02:44that heat. Then when you pump it back to the surface, you can turn the hot fluid into steam.
02:48That can be used to spin a turbine and generate electricity. The concept is similar to many other
02:53power plants. However, harnessing that energy is actually very difficult. In some places, you only have
02:58to go a few hundred feet down to get the required heat. In other places, you have to drill one mile
03:03or more deep. Most of the wells at Cape Station are 8,000 to 9,000 feet deep. The deepest well extends a
03:08staggering 15,000 feet below the ground. This is a depth where 50 statues of Liberty could be stacked
03:14one on top of the other. Currently, most geothermal power plants are located near the boundaries of two
03:20tectonic plates. There, one does not have to drill too deep to find usable heat. That is why these
03:25centers are often seen in geologically active places like Iceland or California. However,
03:30Fervo's method will make geothermal energy a viable option in more locations.
03:34Horizontal drilling and closed system
03:36One of Fervo's biggest innovations is horizontal drilling. Instead of just drilling straight down,
03:42Fervo extends their wells horizontally up to 5,000 feet at the deepest point. This technique is
03:47commonly used in the oil and gas industry to increase connectivity between different reservoirs.
03:52The same principle applies to geothermal energy. By accessing more heat from the same depth,
03:56Fervo's center can be built at a lower cost than conventional geothermal centers.
04:00These centers can be implemented in more locations. They are also easy to scale up.
04:04These centers are extremely important to meet the world's energy demand.
04:07Since this technique is almost analogous to the methods used in the oil and gas industry,
04:12Fervo is hiring workers from that field with minimal training. 60% of the company's employees,
04:17including the CEO, previously worked in the oil and gas industry.
04:20H were exposed to the oil and gas industry, and even the custodian government.
04:23This means that the government, who gave bales of gas industry and gas industry to save the oil and gas industry,
04:25the market fairs are compensated for tracking time by the oil and gas industry with gas industry.
04:28The government is what's the cost of the corporate market and gas industry.
04:28I wonder why they can see the oil and gas industry changes.
04:31The government has done a lot of the time and gas industry,
04:33you know, the government has got a lot of it.
04:35It is a problem that the government changes the water industry to give it a lot for the oil industry.
04:38But it really doesn't make a national fire industry to get the power industry to put it in more locations.
04:40Yes I will go to the stage, but it also will come to the stage.

05:46It's time to build soil, this is known as the area of the soil.
05:48So, what if you are living soil, it would be more like the need of the soil.
05:53기s, århawk, the landis' state of the soil.
05:56So, can we build soil?
05:58What if you are living soil?
05:59It's time to build soil soil.
06:01It is time to build soil soil.
06:02You think that the soil is working?
06:05In a way, we are living soil soil and soil soil soil.
06:08That's why we are living soil.
