    I read a proposal a while back for using the Yellowstone magma chamber for geothermal power generation. It’s not currently in danger of erupting as a supervolcano, but the paper worked the numbers and showed that it would actually be feasable with realistic engineering to tap enough heat from the magma chamber to literally “defuse” it if it actually came to that. And turn a profit while doing so.
