Startup taps underwater volcano as energy source in test

Original: Startup taps underwater volcano as energy source in “proof point” test

A startup says it has completed a 'proof point' test generating energy from an underwater volcano, according to Ars Technica. The project would tap volcanic heat on the seabed as a renewable power source, an approach that remains largely unproven at scale. The test is being watched as an early signal of whether submarine geothermal energy could become commercially viable.

Why now: Interest in novel clean-energy sources is high, and using an underwater volcano for power is an unusual and potentially significant development.
