We should devise a magma turbine that harnesses the natural heat and movement of our earth's outer mantel

They should just install one of the those spinny things above a volcano
I've seen them as christmas decorations and a candle makes it spin really fast, so a volcano would be fucking epic, just attach the spinny thing to a dynamo and BAM, instant free electricity. No wucking furries.

they have those on some geothermal vents
there's a table here; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_electricity#Worldwide_production

MOAR geothermal vents!!
1 per household, when your warm enough just pop the lid on

again, you're almost talking sense here
some people have a vaguely similar set up, whereby a pipe drilled down very very deep heats their water for them and is pumped back up to heat their home

crazy eh?

Heat exchange is the easy non geothermal way
But it's like magic I have no idea how it works

It's very easy to do
provided you live above somewhere with a lot of groundwater. It won't make electricity but it will easily warm your home.

This is the best idea yet

If you coupled this with a volcano lair, I can fully get behind this.
