Would it be possible to use a Thermoelectric Generator, similar to what is used in space probes but instead on the cooling system of mining rigs, in order to produce electricity to reduce the cost of electricity? How effective would this be and would it have a significant impact on the electric bill?
Don't do it, man! That's like plugging an extension cord into itself. You never know what kind of entropy loop-of-doom could be unleashed...
I did the plugging an extension cord into itself once purely by accident. Before I knew what was happening a small black hole began forming and started to pull me in. Due to my quick thinking I was able to reach out and unplug the loop and the black hole instantly vaporized. Except for a few knocked over paint cans and a missing shoe, I was no worse for wear after the incident. It still give me shudders to think I could have destroyed the world had it not been for my quick reflexes.
