Enceladus' "Hot Start"

The article also states that complex (presumably) organic molecules observed in the plumes imply an active heat source. Anybody have more details? I still can't figure out exactly how Enceladus might have been particularly enriched in Al-26 with respect to the other icy moons, other than its proximity to Saturn during its formation... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
