Scary thought but you’d (have to) stop digging way above the molten part. It heats up way above 100C long before you get there, which should be plenty for geot

Scary thought but you’d (have to) stop digging way above the molten part. It heats up way above 100C long before you get there, which should be plenty for geothermal energy. I wonder if sustained high temperature exposure would gradually decompose plastic / toxic waste / other bad things into less harmful components. Of course, heavy elements came from down there, so it’s probably not an issue to dump them back down. Just stay well clear of the water table! I am of course not a geologist, and it’d be interesting if one could give a perspective on this.
