I’m wondering who the first seismologist will be who asks for a grant to study drilling large wells and venting to relieve pressure.

Hell just the idea alone should be worth a few million a year in funding - You heard it here first people!

Geothermal Energy!

Unfortunately if drilled in Yellowstone, that Genie may not be put back in the bottle. What happens when a balloon is punctured?

Why would anyone want to live above an earthquake fault, let alone puncture a pressurized magna chamber?
