Exactly, we will have harnessed it.
There is no excess energy to harness.
If you pull the heat from lava it will turn solid.
Iceland does this already. It's not a wasted idea.
It's just not easy to work deep in the earth to pull
out the heat.

And then there is the worry of earthquakes if cooling
too much lava.

This thread has gone for six pages and over 100 posts. So don't hand me that. Especially when your "solution" is...

Putting aside the insane number of technological advancements which will be required to realize this, it simply isn't practical considering the deadline with which we are eyeball-to-eyeball.

Plus, there is the very real chance that the level of technological change your solution requires will require draining resources nationwide and perhaps worldwide, further impacting overpopulated areas. And even if all those things are possible and if we can somehow do them within the next three decades, there's still no guarantee of success.

On top of all that, the best I can say about your idea is that it takes our problems out into the cosmos rather than solving them here. That's not a solution. It's simply kicking the can down the road so that when we go beyond the point of sustainability, we might have several extra-planetary colonies that will die with us.

So no, I reject your solution on the grounds that it isn't a solution at all.

Wow, 100 already? They grow up so fast. "Don't hand me that" your loss brother there were some fun posts.

You missed the post where I said you would have to super cool it, then superheat it with the right timing.
I missed the post where you explained how expending a large amount of energy to super cool it, then a large amount of energy to superheat it somehow produces some usable energy as a byproduct. Perhaps you could point me to it.

I see you are digging (no pun intended) for answers...we have disclosed enough.

I'm just explaining that there is no excess energy to harvest
other than cooling lava. Hawaii will show the results of that....steam.

Neither process would produce more energy than what you have used.

Believe what you will my friend, you are entitled to that. Even when you don't read everything.

Cooling anything just leaves in in a low energy state.
Heating it again, it will absorb energy, not releasing any.

First of all It is not LAVA until it comes out of Earth's crust.

Secondly, Bose–Einstein condensate - Wikipedia

Put two and two together with a Creative Christian and an Intelligent God, and anything is possible.

I do work for GE medical on prototype high energy devices.
I do this work with my hands on the devices. They are
quite sophisticated. It's true, I never consult forums.

Then let me kindly rephrase that to:

"Even if you don't believe everything."

God plans to destroy this world because it has become corrupted.

Matthew 24
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

Tapping in Hell for power......there you have an idea.
But that could be a Pandora's box.

That might put us in deep.....
deep.........problems.
