Seems crazy to me that we’re not exploiting Yellowstone for all the geo-thermal energy we can get from it. When it erupts again it is likely to be a civilization ending event. Seems to me it would be in our interest to remove as much heat from that magma plume as possible. If we can put a dent in it and delay and eruption great, if not, well we’ve got then essentially an inexhaustible energy source until it does put an end to civilization.
