Sadly, that is only an urban myth, there is some explanation on how it appeared on the wikipedia page of the site.

  Personally, I’m quite happy that this supposed Hell turned out to be a myth.

    Idunno, Hell could have been a potential source of geothermal energy. Or maybe it could aid in the discovery in previously unknown energy production methods.

      Now there’s a fun moral dilemma. Is it ethical to generate electricity with the torment of the damned if it replaces polluting power plants and they’d be tormented anyway?

        I mean, they're gonna be tormented either way so why not make that useful... I was playing at the DOOM (2016) scenario though.
