Re: no, still NIMBYish

That makes me wonder actually... there are plenty of metals that are solid way above salt's melting point (otherwise containing it would be difficult), so isn't there any way to produce a practical system for turning its energy into electricity? The stuff must still convect after all, and I bet there are pumps somewhere within the system.
