I wonder how this ends, I have seen a lot of tv shows and movies where it ends badly.

I also remember how they claimed Nuclear Energy would make electricity so cheap it would not be metered.

The earth will crack to the core and the globe splits apart.

Then nuclear energy became evil. However, if they plan to make a backyard volcano, I recommend doing so in a place that won’t be missed. Washington DC, for instance.

I haven’t even thought about that movie in at least 40 years. I really remember being excited by the idea.

I liked Pertwee as the Doctor.

In this case hopefully the project Director here is not Dr. Stahlman

They only need billion of those green energy dollars to prove that the drill pipe will melt long before they reach their target…..another tax payer money pit….

I'm assuming that water is involved which gets turned to steam to drive turbines. If it's a closed system, where are the cooling towers in picture? Iceland is doing this now because of heat near the surface. Still, they need to cool the water somehow:

It doesn't help cars that much because battery technology hasn't caught up yet.

Not a good idea. If they go deep enough Ted Kennedy might escape.

they show the plant next to a nice mountain stream.

probably just run some cooling coils, besides downstream they could have a bonus tropical fish hatchery

MADNESS!! Don’t they realize they will cause Global Cooling by draining all of Earths Precious Bodily Heat from it, and trigger a GLOBAL ICE CASTATROPHE?!

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!

Jon was good as the third Doctor.

Inferno I think is the first serial I saw.

It seems to me that the heat extracted from the earths core will someday be missed, not soon but someday.
