  • EarthGrid's plasma tunnel boring technology uses electricity and air to vaporize and melt rock and soil, making it faster and cheaper than traditional mechanical drilling methods.
  • The company is working with utilities, solar and wind developers, data centers, and construction companies to bury power lines, create new transmission lines, and build tunnels for various infrastructure projects.
  • EarthGrid has already generated revenue and has a strong sales pipeline, with plans to go public in the future.
