mmWave geothermal is exciting because it can in theory allow for geothermal baseload power anywhere, not just places that have near surface volcanic heat like Iceland.
Big questions remain about it's technical and economic viability though.
So far I think they have only demonstrated melting a hole through a couple meters of rock, and as with all such things, the levelized cost is what matters in the end.
