Even if there were open natural gas lines, the ambient would insulate the largest fires. I am melting aluminum cans in an insulated furnace, and its difficult to pour into forms because of the ambient cools the aluminum too fast.
Rebars, H-Beams, concrete and steel would require so many megajoules sustained for how many hours?
No, it makes no sense to me.
