...this volcano spit out around 240 cubic miles of rock, dirt, magma and other material.
Wow.

Seems like Yellowstone is a prime source of geothermal energy.
Cheap clean energy with the side effect of bleeding off some of the heat below. Win-Win.
Problem is the econazis would have a total meltdown and wouldn't let it happen.

If Steamboat starts erupting regularly, I may have to figure out how to get there to see it.

This new magma does not mean that Yellowstone will erupt again in the near future; much more significant signs such as more earthquakes, more focused ground deformations and the escape of volcanic gases would point to that. HA!...in the movie it's right about the time the 'expert' makes this statement against the hero/'heroette' factual discoveries that they can get no 'politician' to listen to...that the lid blows and a tidal wave of lava consumes the nay sayers....
Luckily their pets escape unharmed and the hero gets the 'heroette'...whose lawyer consumes all his 'eartly' possession in divorce court... 10 yrs later...

Bush probably had Carl and Dick set this scenario up some ten thousand years ago. Now it is time to push the button.

Yes, I've read on a similiar thread that the energy produced from Yellowstone can supply the Western U.S. for decades.
To: Founding Father
George Bush's fault and a direct result of global warming. Women and minorities will be most affected by any eruption.

The magma is, has been, and will be on the move.
Just look at the Hawaiian island chain. Newest at the end of the chain. Watzup? Must be on the move.

"George Bush's fault and a direct result of global warming." No argument from me about that. Volcanoes don't always have fault lines, but it would be cool to name one after George Bush. It might confuse the liberals even further.

ROTFL. I live 100 miles east of the park, and go over all of the time. I also write on Yellowsotne chat lines and they most assuredly would have a melt down at the suggestion. It would be a double meltdown if it slowed down the wolves, grizzlies, or buffalo!
