[QUOTE=Crash15;34219268]That is fucking cool[/QUOTE] Poor choice of words when referring to a volcano :v:

[QUOTE=Moby-;34212915]Hmmm obsidian[/QUOTE] this is how nether portals get made science has gone too far

[QUOTE=zombini;34214490]If the air gets too saturated with water vapor though, it will rain more often. so is kind of a win-win. Cheap energy that is unlimited and more water in the air to make it rain more.[/QUOTE] It'll mean more clouds for England though, but if there were easily-tappable hot rocks in Texas, it's probably rain more there and make it a less arid and more habitable climate. It'd kinda be like a sort of terraforming operation; the increased rainfall in Texas generated by the geothermal plants would make it rain more often and make it more habitable for lifeforms that're used to a moister biome; in other words Dysgalt won't shrivel up like a sun-dried tomato. However, in terms of altering the desert environment of Texas, it should be done gradually, one plant at a time over a largeish timespan so that the local fauna and flora have at least a bit of time to adapt to the abundance of water, since sudden changes can be a detriment to some species, even if the increased abundance of water means that most of the desert fauna and flora wouldn't be so hard-pressed to find water.

[QUOTE=BrainDeath;34222068]watts of energy per second oh god why[/QUOTE] Acceleration obviously.

I can't tell if this idea is retarded or genius. That means it is awesome.

I've always wanted to know if this was a feasible method to obtain power.

[QUOTE=BrainDeath;34222068]watts of energy per second oh god why[/QUOTE] I personally love my joules per second per second

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;34213099]that's actually a really smart idea. we don't really lose any water , and i somehow doubt it'll freeze the planet's core so this is almost a 100% renewable energy source[/QUOTE] You realize this kind of thing has been around for years? Iceland use it a lot, I believe.

[quote]It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimum crystal growth[/quote] [editline]16th January 2012[/editline] Or do they mean 'rapidly cooled' in a way that I wouldn't consider all that rapid?

IT'S SCIENCE WHAT CAN GO WRONG. No I'm serious, what can go wrong. I need something to go hysterical about.
