is anyone besides me bothered by this idea? The magma chamber is under pressure and bulging upwards....giving a way for magma to escape the pressure and reach the surface is not that good an idea.
whats really wrong with waiting a few thousand years and letting future scientists poke the bear?

By all means. Lets add even more pressure with steam!
I don’t know which would be worse.
1. “scientists” really are so stupid as to believe that this idiocy would work.
2. “journalists” made up the claim, in which case, “scientists” are liable to read it and say “hey! that would probably work!”
Reminds me of a 1960’s Sci-fi movie, “Crack In the World”, with Dana Andrews.
Dr. Stephen Sorenson plans to tap the geothermal energy of the Earth’s interior by means of a thermonuclear device detonated deep within the earth. Despite dire warnings by fellow scientist Ted Rampion, Dr. Sorenson proceeds with the experiment after secretly learning that he is terminally ill. This experiment causes a crack to form and grow within the Earth’s crust, which threatens to split the Earth in two if it is not stopped in time.
