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.

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?

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.
