Interesting site -- my information's years out of date. Thanks for posting it.
To: MeanWestTexan
The hot water bubbles to the surface. They don't have to go get it. Well then we'd better get some practical use out of Yellowstone before it blows and kills us all. (Joking folks, joking!)
To: kiriath_jearim
Some buildings in Nebraska has been getting heat from geothermal sources for some 30 years.
If they can do it, why can't we?
To: SIDENET
Montana has some beautiful places.Yes it does. As does Colorado, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
I need to make it to Alaska sometime.

I stand corrected by your response. Thank you for the info and Link.
But natural gas is a by product, or a stand alone hydro carbon field unassociated with liquid crude. It isn't specifically refined from crude.
The basis of my argument is:
No matter how many tons of coal you replace by other means in the generation of electricity, it will not reduce our demand for oil by any significant amount.

Lets lease Yellowstone NP to Duke Power.

Hardly new science, but certainly worth another look.

So what is it when we penetrate the sacred mother earth. Isn't that disrespect for some religion?Well, we would be sucking the energy out of mother gaia. Did you ever think of that?
To: ModelBreaker
And since the actual source of most of the energy is radioactive decay of uranium laced throughout the earth's crust, it is scary evil nuke-clear demonic heat, too.

No. Arrogant Penetration was a punk rock band. They were pretty big in the late 70's. The lead singer's name was Buster High-man.
