Resolves YES if superhot rock geothermal energy is successfully produced and put to use before January 1, 2040 (Pacific Time) at least once anywhere in the world. Resolves NO otherwise.
In this context, "put to use" means the energy is intentionally directed toward completing some practical task or set of tasks requiring energy, rather than being produced purely for demonstration or information gain purposes.
