Can you imagine the environmental impact study on this?
One already defunct idea was to use water to cool down the supervolcano.
NASA believes drilling up to 10km down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.
Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion, NASA considers it ‘the most viable solution.’

Didn’t we learn our lesson after fiddling with chemtrails ? Ha ha ha ha ha ha …
Can you say global warming?
Pumping water down into extreme heat in a restricted place can only cause a big explosion when the water instantly turns to steam thus expanding greatly in a blink of an eye.
Indeed.Water is far too reactive with magna, I think we should be pumping lawyers and progressive politicians into the chamber, this will solve two environmental catastrophies at once.
Is this the idiocy we get for electing an idiot like B. Hussien to the White House? Is there another muslim behind this idiocy too?

“and third and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the muslim world…” (at the 1.00 minute mark in this video).

Jurassic Park … A badass T-Rex snatching a Lawyer off the Outhouse toilet … you just can’t write a scene better than that !! Although I believe your scene could be even greater !! You and I should write a new Sci-fi NATURAL Disaster screenplay thriller about sacrificing PROGs to the Volcano gods SAVED humanity in more ways than one.
This will require YUGE consultations with the aboriginals.
I wonder if they have ever lanced a boil.
I love the first graphic in the article which says “Scientists would drill 10km below the surface…”
I’m confident in saying the scientists would be hundreds of miles away and would leave that work to the blue collar types.
Sounds like pissing on a forest fire
Wait, wait! This could work! Superheated steam, driving generators. Unlimited electricity; what could go wrong? 😉
How about shutting down all NASA activities not involved with Space and perhaps privatize whats left.
Although I always defer to “the experts”, I’m not sure of the effects of pumping water into a blast furnace, hold on,I say.
I have a much better plan, we lower a 60 megaton Russian nuke into the magma pool and let ‘er rip.
I mean,what could go wrong?

I saw the movie a few months after it was released. If I remember correctly, I think there were cheers from the audience at that scene.
After dealing with lawyers as I settle my father’s estate, I think I understand why…..
If that was in Canada, it would be held up because some leftist politician would claim that the aboriginals weren’t “properly” consulted.
I did that once when my 54 Ford was overheating. Cost me a head and a ring job.
Yes, yes! But what about the resulting methane cloud from all that horseshit?
Oh puleeze!
Nobody beyond grade 7 would seriously propose something like that.
have a sore a$$ after the “ring” job??
a huge steam generator for steam turbines. no c02 emissions!
My God. Hasn’t anyone read Lord of the Rings?

sooooo is this to be the MO for all OTHER simmering volcanoes capable of wiping the surface clean of large species?
it’s called the RING of fire. any cost estimates?
Never heard of hubris apparently.
