## What Jamie wrote

Personally, I tend to just like to forget that there is a giant mega-volcano under Yellowstone that would pretty much devastate the United States and much of the world. This concept of "bleeding energy" off of it to produce electricity sounds delightful.

> The USA is confronted with three epic-size problems: (1) the need for production of energy on a scale that meets the current and future needs of the nation, (2) the need to confront the climate crisis head-on by only producing renewable, green energy, that is 100% emission-free, and (3) the need to forever forestall the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano. This paper offers both a provable practical, novel solution, and a thought experiment, to simultaneously solve all of the above stated problems.

Let's go. 🌋
