Won't thorium decay keep it warm for a good long while?
- dpark 10y agoI'm honestly not sure. I don't know how much energy is being created inside the Earth and how much is just residual. It's my understanding that the Earth is slowly cooling, though, so radioactivity isn't replenishing heat as rapidly as we're losing it.
