国外一公司计划挖洞：获取再生能源On March 10, a foreign company plans to dig the deepest hole in the earth so far, specifically 12 miles. Since the launch of the plan in 2020, the company has raised a total of $63 million.3月10日，国外一家公司计划在地球挖一个迄今为止最深的洞，具体来说是12英里（约19.31公里），自2020年该计划启动以来，该公司已总共筹集了6300万美元。
According to Axios, the start-up company is Quaise energy, which aims to completely change the geothermal energy market. It received a round a financing of $40 million in February. The company's goal of digging these ultra deep holes is to obtain unlimited renewable energy from the heat deep in the earth.据 Axios 报道，这家初创公司是 Quaise Energy，该公司旨在彻底改变地热能源市场，其在2月份获得了4000万美元的 A 轮融资。
该公司挖这些超深洞的目标是从地球深处的热量中获取无限量的可再生能源。
Compared with other renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower, geothermal energy is not well-known, but Quaise believes that it is "the core of the energy independent world". This form of energy is one of the oldest energy used by mankind, but it accounts for only 0.4% of the net energy output of the United States, which is the largest geothermal producer in the world.与其它可再生能源如太阳能、风能和水能相比，地热能源的知名度很低，但 Quaise 认为它是“能源独立世界的核心”。
这种形式的能源是人类利用的最古老的能源之一，但它只占美国净能源产量的0.4%，而美国是世界上最大的地热生产国。
Geothermal energy may become a clean energy alongside solar, wind, hydro and nuclear energy, although the last form of energy may take decades to achieve.地热能源可能会成为与太阳能、风能、水能以及核能并列的清洁能源，尽管最后一种能源形式可能需要几十年的时间才能实现。
