SHPEGS — DIY Solar/Geothermal Electricity

rohar writes "SHPEGS is an open design not-for-profit project to design and prototype a base-load renewable electrical generation system suitable for moderate climates and built from common materials. The design centers around creating a local geothermal source with an efficient solar thermal water heater system and can be scaled from single residence to mega-scale. The heliostat system used in Europe's first solar thermal plant could be used in a scaled-down SHPEGS system with Practical Solar's small scale heliostats."

Using geothermal power will speed up the cooling of the earths core.

????????

      Seriously do you have any kind of idea of the amount of energy required to cause any sort of noticeable impact on the earth's core? It's like a colony of ants saying they will destroy all the buildings in Manhattan.
