    Is it really a scam when people don’t expect anything out of it to begin with?

    Like put different kinds of collecting mechanisms under it then smelt the zinc or depending on the country the raw metals and make it scrap metal? I guess you could use the steam and temperatures to help drive a fountain or something to keep mosquitoes away… Interesting thought

    And with the cost of the well and getting the hole dug, it would take generations just to break even. And this doesn’t even factor in location.
