Impossible to say since it has never been achieved. The Earth's mantle is 1,800 miles thick and lies below the Earth's crust which averages around 20 to 30 miles thick. However, the deepest hole thus far drilled into the Earth, the Sakhalin-I Odoptu OP-11 Well, is only 52,575 feet deep, which is slightly less than 10 miles. So there's still some way to go to reach the mantle, never mind dig past it.

What are examples of aquitards?
An example of a aquitard could be Clay. Nothing can get through it. If something were to get through it, it would take a long time.
Where does heat transfer by convection currents take place in the earths interior?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface, and it sinks as it cools. This is how plate tectonics works, as the crust's plates move on these currents.
How long does the earths energy take to get to earth?
No propagation delay has ever been successfully detected or measured, and the process is now believed to be virtually instantaneous, at least to within a Planck interval.
How long does it take to get through the mantle?
20 weeks
Is geotermal energy renewable?
Yes, geothermal energy will continue to exist as long as there is movement in the earths mantle and core. Although in theory the earth will stop rotating at some point, it will take many million years and we'll probably be extinct by then

How do you take a snail out of its shell without damaging it?
