#4 I think the resulting huge steam explosion might be bad : )
What prevents a gigantic “blow out” when the drill bit hits the magma? Sounds to me like they better talk to some oil drillers about drilling and pressure before they even begin to talk about this possibility
It’s a new scam to get more taxpayer money.
Why is NASA involved in this?

Percuz allah thought it would be a good idea.........

>> “The supervolcano erupts about every 600,000 years...” <<
This is an astoundingly foolish and ignorant statement!
There haven’t even been 600,000 years elapse since time itself was created.

A significant portion of California is still trying to recover from the environmental fiasco of PG&E’s geothermal project at Cobb Mountain.

I can actually say I’ve seen that movie...
That is funny isn't it? Some volcano's are in the ocean and it doesn't help one bit.
Hey, they can make some really cool man made geysers
So you’re a YEC?

Most assuredly!

Where does the heat go?
Maybe that $100 billion Obama spent looking for global warming could’ve been spent on this project.
Not leaking steam, water heater with faulting pressure relief valve doesn’t leak steam, it basically explodes.
Well, as long as you don’t hit the magma chamber, you could drill close by, and yes, you could in theory give the heat a place to go, but as I stated, its not the heat per se that is the reason calderas explode and leave craters 25 miles wide... its the pressurized gasses in the magma that suddenly have an scape route once a fracture to the surface occurs... simply taking heat away from the magma does nothing to lessen the insane pressures that are build up in these calderas from the pressurized gasses.
That’s the force behind the explosive nature of the caldera volcano in my understanding.. not simply the hot magma.. if it was just magma building up pressure, you could simply offer an escape route and control the magma flow... but the minute you piece the magma chamber, all of that pressurized gas will suddenly have an escape route... and KABLOOEY.... 25 mile crater and a Nuclear Winter lasting a few years.
Popping balloons is more fun, like popping pimples ... same deal just more gushing ...
Mother erf has a boil.
Ooh, icky.
