    It's a great idea Cooks and not new. I know a number of groups that visited this and other companies using similar technologies.

    Hypothetically; couldn’t we use this same system entirely underground? Even colonise other geo-active planets?

    The technology has been available for a long time. No support from our government for it.

    They have an amazing and unique resource in the geothermal energy to provide both electric light and heat to be able to do this. Great for them. How many other places in the world can do this? Answer is not many because not everyone is sitting on a volcanic hotspot. For those that are, they have their solution. The rest of us need something economical and reliable.

    Unfortunately here in British Columbia Canada they are turning them into legal grow ops by the Government.
