Sadly, that is only an urban myth, there is some explanation on how it appeared on the wikipedia page of the site.

Personally, I’m quite happy that this supposed Hell turned out to be a myth.

Idunno, Hell could have been a potential source of geothermal energy.

Or maybe it could aid in the discovery in previously unknown energy production methods.

I mean, they're gonna be tormented either way so why not make that useful...

I was playing at the DOOM (2016) scenario though.
