I have also come up with a sol-Ution to the Vol-Can-O problem....A very (VERY) large......CORK!!!

Drilling into Mount Rainier, relieving the internal pressure to prevent, avoid, explosive eruption, wrecking the place.
Like popping a pimple, so pleasing.
' Uunngghh ! '
' Pop that Zit ! '


Drilling into Mt Ranier, seeking the heat of volcanic magma, to make steam, to turn turbines, to generate electricity, a source of perpetual energy.
Ahh, the future, technology to make life less expensive.
All good !

Tall Volcanoes
There is no doubt whatsoever that drilling into a volcano is risky business.
Relieving that pressure to avoid catastrophic eruption, like Mt St Helens X 10K, like say, a VE8, massive, huge, devastating.
' But, but, you could cause the volcano to blow if you drilled into it ! '
' It's gonna blow if we don't ! '
1883, Krakatoa went off like a gunshot, loudest noise ever, like.
Krakatoa: The VE6 Volcanic Eruption, 1883
Thera was way,way, bigger, VE7
The scale of the job is beyond anything mankind has attempted, manipulating nature, unintended consequences, unknown Earth.
' Pop that zit ! '
Big Momma Nature rolled over, cut a mean one !
' Unngghh ! '
