SciPod: Harnessing Power from Yellowstone Supervolcano Could Solve the Climate and Energy Crises

MILFORD, Conn., Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists propose a new and revolutionary method to harness the vast energy within Yellowstone's supervolcano. Their technology would generate enough electricity to power the entire American continent – simultaneously solving the energy crisis and mitigating climate change, while also preventing a catastrophic eruption.

The climate crisis poses a major threat to human civilization. Burning fossil fuels to generate energy is the primary cause of this crisis, due to greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, our energy requirements are expected to grow significantly in the future, as would be expected.

At the same time, we face another great crisis. Underneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming lies a powerful supervolcano, which has the guaranteed potential for an eruption that will be catastrophic to the entire world.

Researchers Dr Thomas Arciuolo and Dr Miad Faezipour propose a solution to these problems, by harnessing the mighty energy reserve within the Yellowstone Supervolcano to generate clean, emission-free energy.

The team's proposed technology would generate phenomenal amounts of electricity – enough to power the entire American continent. Their plan would also cool the supervolcano's magma chamber, preventing a super-eruption. NASA has predicted that cooling the magma by just 35% would prevent such a calamity. The project would also generate thousands of jobs and ensure energy-independence for the USA.

The proposed copper-based, volcanic energy harvesting technology has the potential to produce triple the USA's predicted energy requirements for 2050. The excess power could be sold to other countries on the American continent for profit, and to fund the facility's construction.

Arciuolo and Faezipour's pioneering technology has been fully simulated, to prove that its methodology is both practical and efficient. The use of volcanoes to generate power has already proved successful in Iceland and Hawaii.

Harvesting energy from Yellowstone's supervolcano would provide safer and more dependable power than any form of energy used today, including solar, wind, and nuclear. The team's technology would not only generate huge profits, but it would also prevent a catastrophic eruption, while significantly mitigating the climate crisis and meeting the American continent's energy needs for centuries to come.

This technology could be adopted globally by other nations to provide a world-wide solution to climate change and energy production.
