How to Power the World 24/7 — Without Oil | Cindy Taff | TED
Deep beneath the Earth sits 50,000 times more energy than all the world’s fossil fuel reserves, but accessing it requires using the same controversial technology that oil companies spent trillions to develop: fracking. Cindy Taff left Shell to prove that drilling for geothermal heat instead of hydrocarbons can deliver what solar, wind and fossil fuels…

I wish she had included the most important piece of data, how does Thermal compare with Solar/Wind/Batteries when it comes to the levelized total cost?
@markreed9853
February 24, 2026 at 5:30 pm
The global weighted-average levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for new geothermal power projects is approximately USD 0.060/kWh (or $60/MWh) as of 2024–2025. While initial costs are high, geothermal remains competitive with fossil fuels and provides consistent, baseload renewable energy. Costs can range from $0.033/kWh in ideal locations to over $100/MWh in less favorable areas. As of early 2026, the global benchmark Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is approximately $39/MWh for fixed-axis solar and $40/MWh for onshore wind, making them the lowest-cost sources of new generation. Offshore wind costs are higher, around $100/MWh, while solar is projected to fall another 30% by 2035

@Tanbody5 You’re not so well educated I see. Please go find a chart showing the increase in carbon since the start of the industrial revolution. Note very clearly the rapid increase in the growth of carbon over the last two decades. As you look bear in mind that humans and plants existed on the planet for eons in one case and a couple million years in the other. Carbon will not be a problem with the removal of fossil fuels. In fact it’s estimated it will take a millennium for the excess to work itself a away.

Do we know if extracting heat can have negative impact on the core or maybe something else?

It has no effect on our core, the energy we could extract is nothing
@ginoliessens3024
February 24, 2026 at 5:41 pm
That’s what I was thinking as well. Maybe a great idea for some years but on the long term you will be draining energy of the spinning inner core in the liquid outer core and that could result in in a faster slowing down of the spinning inner core and therefor a weaker magnetic field with all consequences that come along with that (look at Mars). Probably it will take a very long time but you never know. Look at climate change how fast that could trigger something catastrophic since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

When are we going to finally face the fact of “the more ways we create to make more energy , the more energy we consume” green or dirty it doesn’t matter
@beyondfossil
February 24, 2026 at 5:42 pm
Point taken. But, firstly, it _does_ matter that the energy is clean, not dirty.
Secondly, renewables, powered by the fusion energy of our sun (173,000-terawatts peak), provide many orders of magnitude more energy headroom, and much at lower prices. This level of power reaches a Kardashev Type-1 civilization, which we aren’t even close to yet.
For reference, 173,000-terawatts can provide the world’s annual primary energy consumption of 620-exajoules (EJ) in just under 1 hour!
@gambit633
February 24, 2026 at 5:19 pm
I’m glad she mentioned preventing earthquakes… they would be my first worry especially if this becomes popular worldwide.
Earthquakes (from oil fracking)…. “The largest earthquake induced by fluid injection that has been documented in the scientific literature was a magnitude 5.8 Four magnitude 5+ earthquakes were reported.. in Oklahoma. A magnitude 5.3 earthquake… in Colorado.”
While Solar + batteries + wind look like they are here to stay, taking over quickly in many countries. BUT I think maintaining some geothermal it an important safety measure for rare events like the “Year Without a Summer” (1819 volcano) or extreme meteor hits that would hide the sun and destabilize weather (assuming meteor diversion efforts by us not successful) .
FYI Existing claims vary a lot, but one source mentioned 54% of electricity within Europe in 2025 was generated from renewables. With many new projects in the building stages… aiming for 70% within 4 years (2030).
@tubularG
February 24, 2026 at 5:24 pm
Hmm. No mention of current challenges to geothermal and expectations of overcoming such challenges. If there aren’t any challenges why is it taking so long to deploy? I suspect there are some things that haven’t been said in this presentation.
@MysteriousSoulreaper

Well most areas aren’t actually generating a sufficient amount of heat to turn steam Turbines. So at most you can run heat exchangers.
@jimmeryman4332
February 24, 2026 at 5:41 pm
I’m not a geologist…this maybe a stupid question (but I see something like it mentioned in earlier comments): Unintended Consequences…our Planet has survived with all this heat deep in the ground…what happens under the crust if we suck out all that heat? I suppose nothing if done on a small scale, but this huge. planet wide scale?)……also, what would it mean to the already too warm atmosphere if all this heat from inner Earth were brought to the top?…
@CarFreeSegnitz
February 24, 2026 at 6:21 pm
Current geothermal, natural geothermal, brings roughly 44 TWh to the surface each year. It’s mostly concentrated at plate boundaries and volcanoes. But there’s a very small amount warming the surface everywhere. Compare that to the energy the sun dumps on Earth… about 175,000 TWh.
If we get aggressive with geothermal Earth will lose surface water to cooler subsurface rocks. Earth has surface water mostly because water was cooked out of the mantle. We’d have to switch entirely to geothermal for all our energy for hundreds of thousands of years for there to be a noticeable effect on our oceans. And the effect would reverse if we went cold-turkey off geothermal energy due to radioactive decay inside the Earth.

@RJS1966USMC

The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of several different gasses that we collectively call “AIR”.
Our “AIR” is comprised of 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen.
Add those together (78+21) and we come to 99%.
So, what is it that makes up that last 1%?
These are the gasses that, added together, equal that last 1%:
Argon (Ar) 0.93%.
The rest below added together make up that last 0.07%.
Neon (Ne)
Helium (He)
Methane (CH4)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Hydrogen (H2)
and a few other gasses.
So, we’re supposed to believe that CO2, which itself is LESS than 0.07% of the entire planet’s atmosphere, (Because all plant life absorbs the CARBON to physically grow bigger and releases the OXYGEN as waste.) poses a HUGE DANGER to ALL LIFE ON EARTH, and that ONLY BY PAYING A CARBON TAX to the government can we save ourselves from complete destruction of the planet?
Please remember that ALL plant life absorbs CO2 and emits OXYGEN. And considering that OXYGEN makes up 21% of our atmosphere and CO2 is LESS THAN 0.07%, the ratio is in NO DANGER of changing to anything dangerous by human activity alone.
The CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX is a HUGE LIE with the goal of TOTAL AUTHORITARIAN CONTROL OF EVERYONE ON EARTH.

Great video.
When we consider that burning a substance (wood, oil, coal) has been the method for producing energy since people lived in caves this could provide a great power source, allow us to go electric, and reduce carbon emissions.
Unlike oil, coal, or wood geothermal is directly below our feet. No matter where we stand on the planet.
From Scientific American:
The number of earthquakes linked to fracking operations is very small. Many more temblors are linked to conventional oil and natural gas extraction. Furthermore, the greatest risk of earthquakes due to fracking does not come from drilling into deep shale or cracking it with pressurized water and chemicals. Rather, it comes from pumping the wastewater from those operations back down into deep sandstone or other formations for permanent disposal.

Wind isn’t clean. It leaves dead birds laying around. Geothermal, on the other hand, is extremely friendly. I just posted this on Facebook a few days ago, then I saw your video. Heat is near the surface here in the west of the USA, you don’t even have to drill that deep. Solar is toxic in production, wind is lethal to wildlife. All of our non-transportation energy should be geothermal. I agree with you in that regard. I don’t intend to buy an EV, however, until the battery technology is rapid charging, longer range, and cheaper. That is coming. Until then I’ll keep my ICE car.
EDIT: I am not discounting fusion, however.
