Iceland drills to their magma that’s very close to the surface and injects water to make steam to drive turbines to give them very cheap electricity.

Does anyone know the difference between the magma below yellowstone and the magma below iceland?

Yellowstone has rhyolite and basalt, while Iceland is mostly basaltic.

Iceland does something else in addition, BTW, at some if it’s hydrothermal plants.

Carbfix and Sulfix.
