The KamLAND antineutrino detector is a vessel filled with scintillating mineral oil and lined with photomultiplier tubes (inset), the largest scintillation detector ever constructed, buried deep underground near Toyama, Japan.

No way!!! We all know that all of the heat of the earth is caused by capitalism! Al Gore and the democrats told us so!
Thus, the amount of energy claimed in this story to evolve from decay of uranium and thorium in Earth's interior is about 0.025% (one four-thousandth) of what we receive from the Sun.
According to all the enviro-whackos, ANY radiation is to much. We’re all doomed. I’m surprised anyone was able to get out of bed this morning.
Pffft! Everyone knows Keebler Elves are down there baking cookies and heating the core.
Whomever figure out a safe and cost-effective way to harness it will become very, very rich.
It SEEMS simple in theory: Drill a hole and put a pipe in it...pump water through the pipe...create steam etc.
Surely one would not have to drill deeper than 20 or 30 miles. Heck, even if 100 miles it seems achievable.
“watts of heat”? Watts up with that?
I guess that U25 is decaying as well, and that the 238/235 ratio is relatively stable.
“That still leaves more than half the planet’s heat energy unaccounted for, including all the heat created in the core.”
Everyone knows the cause is man-made global warming.
The EPA’s not going to like that.
Capital below!...
