Ijust had a 'scathingly brilliant' (if I may quote a certain Mudcatter) idea.
Fact 1: There are many, many volcanoes in this world and not a few of them are in the US.
Fact 2: When a volcanoe erupts or even just rumbles and steams, all of that heat and power is wasted.
Fact 3: We need more heat and power .
Fact 4: Alaska has an 800-mile pipeline, so we know it can be done,
thus:
How about tapping into volcanoes and piping all that heat to our homes and businesses where it can do some good? Not only that, but it would potentially defuse some of the worst dangers this planet offers.
