Thinking outside the box here, what if the hole is actually the goal?
Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Is this a blessing when distilled a little?
It is a nothingburger. The blessing is that precious electric power will not be thrown down the sewer, operating this light bulb that gives no light.
Without the power all they got is a really expensive hole in the ground.

Sounds Biblical. I'm seeing this with increasing frequency.
Yep. Turn ouf the lights and go home.
