Earth holds vast, newly discovered clean energy source

New research suggests a vast, untapped source of clean energy, potentially capable of powering the Earth for 170,000 years, has been discovered. Scientists have identified hidden reservoirs of hydrogen gas within the Earth's crust, offering a potential solution for climate mitigation. This "green" hydrogen could meet global energy needs, especially as demand is expected to increase significantly by 2050. Researchers have developed a method to locate and extract these hydrogen reserves, emphasizing the importance of avoiding microbial interference. This discovery could provide a commercially viable and sustainable energy source.
