For sure. The "stunning" part is because the black holes get to have the cake and eat it too. Mass-energy is stored away in the singularity exactly as fast as it is radiated away. Now *that* is free energy! The practical problem is the need to be around one of those all eating things to get the energy. If one got lose into the earth it would be bye-bye earth - assuming the theory is right of course. I worry about the Large Hadron Collider. They assume the black holes it creates will evaporate. I'm not so sure about that. Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
The award winning author, David Brin, discusses the ramifications of when one of these little critters accidentally escapes a research lab and starts whizzing about inside the core of our energy starved planet. Read about this frightening scenario in Brin's novel "Earth". http://www.amazon.com/Earth-David-Brin/dp/055329024X http://www.davidbrin.com/othersfbooks.html There's a humorous chapter in this novel, set about 50 years into the future, where a huge debate unfolds on what to do with all of Los Angeles's accumulated 20th century garbage languishing away in a massive landfills. Economics eventually wins out and a brand new gold rush to California is born as various companies start bidding for the rights to process the spoils of 20th century "waste". The spoils were considered far too valuable to remain locked up underground, to slowly transform via metamorphosis over millions of years into strange new compounds.
