1. The reporters name just happens to be Cheyenne?

2. Glad to know that the 8 acres is the size of 4 soccer fields.

3. Too bad NASA isn't working on it and just the mini Nasa is working on it.

4. ACTUAL glowbull warming. Caused by-----NATURE!

5. BIG BOOM thanks to Dr. Evil?!

You’ve gotta fertilize the great plains every millennia or so to keep things growing.

I will hold of until I get AOC’s assessment of whats going on

Nasa believes drilling up to six miles (10km) down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.

Right...pump in lots'a water. Then the drill hole collapses, the water is sealed in and heated to steam, which explodes through the crust and activates the supervolcano eruption that takes out about 23 states... right...

Dear NASA....Mother Nature knows what she's doing. Stay out of her kitchen.

These trees aren't the last on earth.

Idiots!!

Nasa believes drilling up to six miles (10km) down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.

This would be one of the only times I would be in favor of a private/public partnership.

The US government could fund the drilling of the wells.

A private investor owned electric company would build a geothermal electric generating plant to use the steam generated by the wells.

It would be a true win win endeavor.

The electric company would get the power generated by the volcanic vent and the government would be freed from the cost of building and operating the plant and of the cost of maintaining the plant and cooling water pumps (and various other things).

Dear NASA....This doesn’t need a solution. It IS a solution in itself.

4. ACTUAL glowbull warming. Caused by-----NATURE!

I was thinking that this is a sign that global warming is going to kill us all in say... 12 years! </s>

Contributing to GoreBull warming? Whatcha gonna do about that?

“...Geologists discover a new hotspot in Yellowstone super volcano that’s killing off trees in a patch of warm land the size of FOUR soccer fields...”

Oh, the horror of it all! The sheer horror! Those poor little trees. Trees have feeling too, dontcha know? The Occasional Kotex and the all-knowing OzoneAlGore must be immediately summoned for solutions to this horror. /S

Hare brained doesn't even begin to describe this plan.
What happens when water meets molten lava again?
You can't stop a volcano. The heat and pressure must come out eventually.

Want another hare brained idea:
Use an underground nuke to blow a big hole and relieve the pressure sooner rather than later.

Yellowstone is no place for soccer fields.

Ask Smithsonian: What’s the Deepest Hole Ever Dug?

Scientists took their first crack at the mantle in 1958 with Project Mohole. American engineers drilled through the Pacific Ocean floor off Guadalupe, Mexico. But Congress discontinued funding in 1966 before the drillers ever reached the mantle.

The quest to drill deeper created a global scientific contest akin to the Space Race. In 1970, Soviet geologists took on the challenge, setting their drills over the Kola Peninsula, which juts eastward out of the Scandinavian landmass.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole was just 9 inches in diameter, but at 40,230 feet (12,262 meters) reigns as the deepest hole. It took almost 20 years to reach that 7.5-mile depth—only half the distance or less to the mantle.

By Alicia Ault SMITHSONIAN.COM FEBRUARY 19, 2015

if it takes an estimated 20 years to drill 7.5 miles; it should take 16 years to drill 6 miles.

STOP THE PRESSES!

AOC said we have less than 12 years before we all die due to globull warming. Guess we are safe then as they will never drill deep enough.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

They are actually proposing to drill down 30,000 feet to inject water to cool a minuscule eight acre patch at a cost of 3-1/2 BILLION DOLLARS?

Just when I thought I’d heard of every possible way to piss away our tax money, this takes the cake.

Let’s scale that project up to the entire Yellowstone Caldera. The entire Yellowstone Caldera is almost a million acres. The project proposed in this article costs $437 MILLION per acre.

So, at that rate, the cost to cool the entire Yellowstone Caldera would be 4.3^14 dollars.

What do you think? Should we write to our Congressmen to support this project?

Maybe we can get AOC to support it. “COOL THE CALDERA NOW!!”

[refreshed]

Let’s see. Pump liquid water at high pressure into a chamber with another liquid in excess of 100 degrees C and what happens? Giant uncontrolled pressure cooker. Boom. Kitchen science!

“Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion (£2.63 billion), Nasa considers it ‘the most viable solution.”

I wanna see the names of the people who get the contract for this job ! All the details too..what they did for their money etc etc etc ...
