That's "retro," as in "retro //rockets//," because this build may leave you reaching for your thermal protection system.
  
 After an embarrassing series of melt-downs at [[Three Miles Highland]], the [[DTA]] decided to prioritize the use of natural, renewable sources of energy. Although lava has both terrible and awesome destructive potential when weaponized, its power can also be harnessed for peaceful purposes: namely, geo-thermal energy. A conical structure was built which continuously re-circulates hot lava, via convection. Thermal energy is extracted using thermocouples, which periodically engage to cool the lava, turning it black. The lamp-like shape is merely a coincidence. After an embarrassing series of melt-downs at [[Three Miles Highland]], the [[DTA]] decided to prioritize the use of natural, renewable sources of energy.
