Someone accidentally drilling into a dyke does not mean they'll be able to bore into a magma chamber within the next 2 years. Those are completely different ballparks, there's a reason the latter has never happened, because the high temperatures make it very difficult on a technical level. I mentioned Mars because it's a similar claim we've heard in the media and from various projects for years now. Of course it's possible, anything's possible. Now show me how concretely it will be done, it's on those making the claim to provide the evidence and I'm not sure if you noticed but the article contains no technical details. After reading it, can you explain how they will drill into the chamber? We can't be sure if Eichelberger has actually said everything implied in the article or if he's quoted out of context, but the “no geophysical technique has been shown to satisfactorily locate magma reservoirs” quote for example is misleading. Of course nothing gives us 100% certainty, they're educated guesses based on seismic data and such. But if they couldn't find giant liquid chambers in relatively shallow depths, the entire field of geophysics would be rather useless. Obviously that isn't true. If there's one thing they can locate, it's magma chambers, conventional oil reservoirs, and such. Otherwise they'd just randomly drill all over the place. Which the accidental dyke drilling shows they do when it comes to higher resolution details. Btw Eichelberger is both the founder as well as a board member of the project looking to drill and currently seeking millions of dollars of funding for it. Such an unbiased source and what a coincidence that just as they need money, Mr. Lawton comes out with an article hyping up the idea. https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/icelandic-research-cluster-seeks-79m-funding-round-to-drill-magma-energy-boreholes-08-01-2024/ https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/icelandic-research-c...
