- quickthrower2 7y agoSource of free energy? 180 degrees down there so can pump water down and get pressure steam back up?
- SkyMarshal 7y agoInteresting idea but it's so deep the water/steam might cool before it got back up to the top. But maybe if a steam turbine could be lowered into it and made to work somehow, electricity could be generated at the bottom and wired back up.
