That is something, but lengths implies more than one, so we are back to square one.
The article also mentions a 'breakthrough'.
I think the "breakthrough" they are talking about is to apply the horizontal drilling technique the frackers use to setting up a geothermal collector. They could make better use of a source by laying several pipes across a magma pool. More surface area to heat the water. Not a huge technological leap though.

QuoteAnd doom is baked in the cake.
This of course is true. "baked" is a good choice of verbs. It's too little too late and doesn't address the problems of overshoot, resource depletion and climate change. Even if we stopped all carbon emissions now, the climate will continue warming another 40 years at least. Think this summer is hot? You ain't seen nuthin' yet.
