America’s most feared supervolcano has always been the subject of analysis, not only for its dire predictions for the future, but also for how it could revolutionize our country (in a good way). Just one team of experts has just discovered that, unexpectedly, it is moving in a strange way, and could begin to expel it. The solution? They have proposed to drill it (literally), with serious consequences that are also just now becoming known and an energy project that has almost no way back.
To-date, there is no operating geothermal power station and no large-scale geothermal development within the park. However, several small-scale geothermal projects in the Yellowstone region has been studied and developed to some extent. For example, a Geothermal district heating system located in Bozeman city of Montana state outside the park is employed to provide heating for several buildings.
Calculations indicate that geothermal resources of the Yellowstone area could produce electricity ranging from 35,000 MW to 45,000 MW, which is equal to the capacity of 35 to 45 typical nuclear power stations. Nevertheless, accessing this is fraught with quite a number of problems.
