Using the underground chamber as a geothermal source seems smarter… just pump in water, no air.

Laugh all you like, the truth is closer to this story than you think. In-Situ burning of low grade coal or oil stone is being ivestigated worlwide. Shame it took them 70 years to get there.

Dang! I read that article years ago and can’t find it!

I thought I read it at Paleo-Future.

Wasn’t this mentioned in Charles Steinmetz’s famous article
“This may seem a dream” which mentioned electricity to cheap to meter?
(Just pay a service fee for the outlets in your house.)

Charlie… Change tag from ‘Aviation’ to ‘Impractical’.

Someone should email this to the Governor of Pennsylvania. They’ve had an underground coal seam burning in Centralia since 1962. Hell… they could have had two million straining horses working for them the last 46 years.
