The waveguide is how we deliver high-power millimeter waves to unlock deep geothermal energy. Deep geothermal involves temperatures in the 300-500 C range at 3-20 km depths. At these temperatures and depths, getting energy to the bottom of a hole with conventional drilling methods—mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical approaches—becomes exponentially more expensive. What you need is energy at a distance, which millimeter waves provide via waveguides. A geothermal waveguide is exactly as it sounds: it guides electromagnetic waves to the bottom of a hole. They are specifically designed metal tubes that maximize millimeter wave delivery over long distances. In a geothermal well, the waveguide stops just shy of the bottom of the hole to let the millimeter waves exit the pipe and vaporize basement rock. Waveguides have been used for decades in telecommunications and fusion energy experiments. In the 1970s, Bell Labs built a 14 km surface waveguide to showcase a system that could carry half a million simultaneous phone calls. In fusion energy, waveguides carry high-powered millimeter waves to heat plasmas hotter than the core of the sun. Waveguides themselves are nothing new. What's new is adapting waveguides for deep geothermal energy to enable the most secure path to net zero emissions by mid-century.

In the realm of renewables, geothermal shines as a firm, 'baseload' energy source. Its availability round the clock, without storage needs, sets it apart from intermittent options like solar and wind. Texas can lead by embracing geothermal for efficient, reliable energy solutions.
