Yet another backward step in the online music distribution saga. Those who are paying for music online have to pay a tax to make up for those who don't pay for their music. It hardly encourages the use of legal online music stores.
You could also say that the heat doesn't really come from the core of the planet, rather from radioactive decay in the crust.
My local swimming pool is heated geothermally, it only costs $5000 per year to pump the water underground and up again. Compared with $200 000 for electrical heating and $150 000 for gas. Luckily the pool is in an area where the hot rocks are only 3km underground. It will still take some time to recover the initial costs but worth it in the long run i think.
