Its the awe-inspiring pride of the United States and it harbors a deadly power that could kill us all.
Yellowstone National Park is pristine wilderness, full of scenic landscape and iconic hot-pools and geysers that attract tens of thousands of visitors every year.
But its what lies beneath that has scientists scurrying.
Weve long known that Yellowstone is merely the skin on top of a supervolcano a giant pool of magma sitting just under the Earths surface.
Exactly how giant has been the subject of much speculation.

Don’t worry, Obama will delay it’s implementation until after the election.

Think of all the natural thermal energy that could be harvested.

LOL! That’s one thing I firmly remember from when I lived in ABQ many years ago. (Less than a million population state wide back then!)

Would Obama have time to get on TV and blame Bush?
To: rktman
Aha! So the Republicans were actually doing us a favor when they shut down the government.

Think of all the natural thermal energy that could be harvested. My first thoughts as well.
Sink some wells, build some steam turbines and transmission lines.

I believe you are correct. As long as the park were closed and no activity was allowed, we were safe from any possible volcanic eruptions. Hadn’t thought about that. Of course if it were to go, you might want to be visiting Ol’ Faithful that particular day. Unless you are wanting to put your volcano prepper skills to the test.

Lord, thank you for the bounty we are about to receive.

Sink some wells, build some steam turbines and transmission lines. Then target the steam vents at eagles flying nearby so it can meet the green energy targets on number of endangered species killed.
