This will take care of the bread basket. Wonder if the infultrators are helping this event along

[Freeport]

Yawn... Yellowstone is always moving. The whole basin breaths, so what’s the big deal about a 3.x?

Nothing.

[Freeport]

Oopps...

“... 4.x”

Yep, still... Nothing.

[Caipirabob]

Something other than “Ah-hah” came to mind, but I know where you’re going with that...lol!

It was a 4.8, highest magnitude there in 34 years.

[Mount Athos]

They did that in hawaii and the residents complained about noise, smell, health, acid, eye irriation/breathing.

I think they’re expanding now anyway but it was set back years because of the complaints.

If it blows, I’m uh gonna hit every woman I’ve had an interest in for years.

Are there a lot of women you want to hit?

[Vaduz]

Yep it’s that global warming thingy causing it.

[chessplayer]

Pinatubo dropped global temps. by .4C for several months. Yellowstone would drop global temps by 10 C for at least ten years. The falling ash would kill virtually all life on the entire N. American continent.

If the Yellowstone super volcano blows, say good bye to the US and large parts of the world as the cloud of ash could seriously affect climate around the world.

[Organic Panic]

To make it more scarier it should be called megavolcano.

Ping-a-ling

[Vendome]

With 3 billion weemen on the planet there’s a veritable candy store of em.

[Ditto]

I have always wondered why that vast energy resource couldn’t be tapped for power and to ease the pressure at the same time.

1. Because they are really vast.
2. Because we have no way to actually control the amount of energy there.

The few 'Geothermal Energy" sites we have pump cool water down a few hundred feet into some hot rocks to make some steam. Hot rocks and a pool of liquid magma at a few thousand degrees the size of Rhode Island are two different propositions.

Bottom line... we can't do what you suggest, and even if we could, the Earth would just make more magma. We could not win that pissing contest.
