[ExI] Space Elevator (Going Down)

[Henrique Moraes Machado]

Gary Miller>My idea was to just bury the nuke deep enough that upon 
detonation we create artificial Geothermal energy sources here on Earth.

As far as I know, Iceland uses geothermal a lot. But they've high volcanic 
activity all across the island.
Geothermal doesn't need to be very deep. There's an alternative which is the 
hot rock bed. You just dig deep enough (3 - 4 km) to reach a really hot rock 
and then pour water down the hole and it creates vapour. Then we can use a 
trustworthy steam turbine to produce our beloved electricity.
