Facebook's Quest for Clean Energy: Harnessing Earth's Heat

Tech giants like Facebook are facing a challenge: powering their growing data centers with clean energy.

To address this, Meta, Facebook's parent company, is partnering with a startup to develop a new type of geothermal energy.

This technology utilizes fracking techniques, similar to those used for oil and gas, to access heat deep underground.

By harnessing this heat, they can generate electricity without producing greenhouse gases, contributing to a cleaner energy future.
