That is correct, but not for the "two pipe approach" I outlined in my post. There is a form of geothermal energy generation that is being used here, that injects water into the ground and taps into the heated water. This is somewh

It's a question of knowing your data. UTC time probably won't always give you the correct result, since timezones and DST aren't fixed. Say, you want to store the time of your doctor's appointment months in advance. Here
