Scientist are skeered that Yellowstone might "erupt".... So they have a plan.... They want to poke a hole in the top of the volcano and "let off some steam".... they plan to inject cold water down into the magma plume to cool it off...

But if they drill too deeply, they admit, they might just set off the very thing they are hoping to avoid.

'course this will require several billion of your tax dollars and your unwilling/unwitting acceptance of thise endeavor.

Another thing that caught my attention is that they say the hot magma flows really well when so hot but as it cools it becomes "stickier"... my understanding of magma is that the stickier (high silica content usually means stickier, not temperature) the more explosive; since pressure can build from the tension of the magma not being so easy to push around... so....I dunno, you tell me.

Messing with Yellowstone is like picking at a festering zit.

Nothing good happens.

Sounds like a sequel to that God-awful movie "The Core."

Rich deposits of Unobtainium should drive gun prices lower.

Typical NASA shenanigans. Making up more bullshit so overpaid douchebags can keep their jobs.

Shouldn't United States Geological Survey be involved in this instead of our space agency?

"The United States Geological Survey is a scientific agency of the United States government. The scientists of the USGS study the landscape of the United States, its natural resources, and the natural hazards that threaten it."

Thread is starting to deliver. 8.5/10.

NASA USED to work well under pressure. Above pressure, they might just not be in the right world.
