Interesting, I think some people said this was an inspiration for Silent Hill. Looking at the map, the closest distance to a water source is the Susquehanna River which is about 15 miles away. Would it be feasible to pump water from all that way to build a geothermal plant? It seems like it's an awful waste of energy.

  The issue is that the fire constantly moving around the area. By the time you build something it would not be burning there anymore.
