http://gizmodo.com/5291538/romulan-planet-drill-now-in-testing-stages-for-real Now, I've got a question. If we drill down to magma, and use that heat for power generation... aren't all powerplants just heat pumps? we generate the power while letting heat flow naturally down the line to colder

Wait a moment. The magma is hot becasue it is pressurised. When you pick it up to earth it will expand and cool. Do some calculation on it and see how much heat is left. There is no difference if you pump a fluid down to the magma. It will get pressurized as it go down and will heat up because

its a semisolid fluidic mess down there, though, at just inside the mantle, how much can it really be pressurized? under pressure yes, but how condensed? I a biologist and biochemist mostly, im not sure the math TO do in this instance, But if we pump fluid down, and it cools too much on the way
