Geothermal baby!

Right this sec­ond, as I type this, water mixed with methyl* alco­hol is trav­el­ing out of my house, into pipes that plunge 110 feet ver­ti­cal­ly into the ground below my yard, and return­ing into my house. There, an expen­sive appa­ra­tus extracts the heat from the water and sends it back out to cir­cu­late some more.

Sweet.
