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.
my understanding is that rhyolite and basalt behave differently.
basalt the lava we get on the big island in hawaii—or iceland.
Rhyolite is the explosive stuff we get from say a Mount St. Helens.
basalt is slow molassas so you could drill right onto that like they do iceland.
So that also means that drilling into the rhyolite is asking for deep do do.
But a shallower well would get you steam to drive electricity like steam springs all over Yellowstone. That might be helpful too because that water system might be keeping that 2 mile cap stable.
Now where is this analysis wrong.
