If you detonate a fusion device underground. (pure fusion device without the fission part)
The heat (energy) released will heat up the surrounding rock a bit.
After a while you detonate a 2nd device and it will heat-up the rock future.
If you repeat the process...until a large area of underground rock stable at (say) 300-500 degree Celcius.
And than you can use the underground rock's heat to produce steam to run turbine and generate electricity just like a geothermal power plant.
Normal Geothermal power plant require the drilling of a very deep well (up to 3KM)
perhaps the fusion-geothermal method does not need to drill a very deep well?
Wondering will this method work? or is this just a science fiction?
What if it work? That mean you will have the unlimited clean energy of the hydrogen fusion.
