Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Sure would be easier to use in the wood heater than firewood !
It would seem to have to be fueled by a nuclear reaction. That would be tricky to maintain balance. But it is self generating.
They say stars are plasma and not nuclear...
Mysteries of the universe...

A metal cutting plasma cutter uses electricity to develop super high temps. Powerful units cut thru 3 inch thick steel like butter.
Heat of a plasma cutter said to be 40,000F to 45,000F, oxy-acetylene torch is 9000F.
As far as maintaining the heat of plasma in the center of the earth where does the electricity come from ?
