Could We Stop Yellowstone from Erupting with a Giant Geothermal Power Plant?

Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a massive supervolcano that erupts catastrophically every few hundred thousand years, forming a caldera. While smaller eruptions have occurred, a supervolcano eruption would have catastrophic effects, including a “volcanic winter” that could lower global temperatures for years and cause major crop failures. Addressing the risk of a supervolcano eruption presents an opportunity for geothermal energy generation. By tapping into the heat of Yellowstone’s magma chambers, an enormous amount of electric power could be generated, potentially enough to power the entire United States. However, implementing such a plan would come with significant challenges and legal obstacles.
