"I wonder what would happen if someone drilled a shaft down into Yellowstone at the volcanic caldera and detonated a nuke in it?"

That "solution" to relieve pressure has been talked about for awhile. Don't know if it's actually ever been tried or not. Not nukes, but some sort of large explosive device. Sounds like it could potentially work if placed in the right location.
