Looks to me like they would just be drilling a hole for another volcano.

Nothing mentioned about the internal pressure.

No kidding

I've worked on wells on the west coast that had 450+degrees at 3500ft, flow lines were so hot they had to be insulated from contact.

Some of the wells in this area have down hole pressures in excess of 6000psi. I can only imagine what the pressures would be at those depths.

Amen to that! It's bad enough when we get weak spots in the crust allowing the magma to punch through. Now we're talking about an engraved invite for the stuff?
