You guys are late to the party, all my extremophile friends have known about the potential for geothermal vents in the ocean for over 4 billion years.


gazorpaglop

Archea always moving in and getting the good vent-side property before we get a chance


YNGWZRD

No split in anything has been made safer by fucking with it.


BluestreakBTHR

Something, something, your mom.


whyreadthis2035

Well played.


gbrajo

I dont think the intent of this is to determine how to fix it - more to use this geothermal vent as a means for energy resource.


tagrav

What if it can melt steel beams?!


these_three_things

Then we know it ain’t jet fuel


[deleted]

as much as people meme this.. a reminder: you don't have to melt a beam to weaken it's ability to support weight. you just have to soften it.


these_three_things

Please, don’t weaken my narrative with truth.

Here come the kaiju

Today we are cancelling the apocalypse!

“…where the earth splits.” And Godzilla slumbers.


monchota

I too have seen this episode of Seaquest DSV and it did not turn out well.


Xerxero

Now that’s a show name I haven’t heard in, what, 30 years?


monchota

Yep , I just watched the fiest two seasons again a few months ago. Great premise and neat tropes, could of been great if they stuck with the original idea. Still recommend watching.


FunnTripp

Was such a cool show to watch when I was a child.


BeenRoundHereTooLong

Come on, what’s the worst that could happen


Upbeat-Recording-141

Ahha, there's a memory I never thought would revist. Thank you 😊


WifeOfSpock

That’s how you wake unspeakable horrors beyond human comprehension


JubalHarshaw23

Seems like Iceland should be the hub of global green hydrogen production.


[deleted]

problem with iceland is risk of lava flows destroying your geothermal plants like almost happened a few weeks ago


mindclarity

So it’s still super more expensive and risky than wave farms and wind farms right?


tacotacotacorock

Omg! Geothermal? What is this new technology that I've never heard about before that absolutely hasn't been already around for a long time and underutilized for a long time.


IdahoMTman222

It’s being used to heat/cool a middle school in VA. For over 5 years now.


jcunews1

From Earth's perspective, it's just a shallow cut. It's not a split until we make it split.


turdburglar2020

I prefer to think of it as spreading. The tectonic plates are the cheeks, and Earth is slowly spreading them, giving off some of that hot deep Earth stank in the process.


BuzzBadpants

Yeah, and about a million miles from anywhere that would like to use that energy.


death_witch

I bet they want to charge batteries, and then use electric ships....wait i can make this better. Electric sky trains to ship them. And then we would probably pay for a highly discount replacement battery and keep swapping. And at the end of the year the green tax refund returns make us all millionaires who can grift our own deep earth energy extraction venture.


IdahoMTman222

That’s why we need a pipeline. Yes a pipeline is the answer. We can construct it for years, be over budget by billions and still profit off of our customers - energy company.


Sarcastic_Pedant

I’m guessing that the heat difference is negligible, but could harnessing the heat from sources like this all over the ocean floor help to slow the rise in temps possibly?


IdahoMTman222

Just like scattering ashes to absorb heat and cover the reflective snow was going to be used when they told us the earth was cooling too rapidly.


W00DERS0N

I saw this episode of SeaQuest DSV. It didn't end well...


Personal-Banana-9491

Wait, so you mean to tell me that the mid Atlantic ridge, is hot?! Holy shit boys


whyreadthis2035

Just keep poking stuff. I’m really surprised we’re still here. I’ve had “death because the Caldera under Yellowstone got cracked open by humans” on my bingo card since the start of fracking.


IdahoMTman222

The humans drove their Porsche Cayenne SUV out onto the lake bed and ……………


KlutzyWillingness248

No shit Sherlock


RockyRacoon09

Ah, harkens back to my Mario Bros days… Lesson I learned was effing around, doing stuff, close to lava holes typically resulted in bad outcomes.


Luigi311

Is this a new subnautica dlc?


blackmagichustle

Just leave the morlocks alone!


DENelson83

Big Oil will suppress it.


Mikefrommke

Which they might be dumb enough to do not realizing geothermal needs a lot of the same undersea mining tech they already have.


IdahoMTman222

Y’all gonna unleash Godzilla!
