When I was in sixth grade I entered a science contest to invent a new form of clean energy. Mostly I entered because I was getting a B in my science class and needed extra credit to get up to an A. And the thing I "invented" was literally what's in this article, geothermal power. Pump water down near magma, have it turned to steam, have that steam come rushing back up to power turbines. The problem with my invention was that the company sponsoring the contest was a geothermal energy company. I'm still proud of myself though, because I thought of the idea independently and it is a pretty damn cool idea for how to get energy.
