Ah good thinking! Okay, now take this valve down to the crater floor. and keep an eye on the pressure valve for us, okay?

Eruptions are too infrequent, what we should really do is harness the power of geothermal energy by setting up stations near volcanos that can tap into the relatively easy to get to heat.

Maybe something like a closed loop system with sodium or something more exotic being run at high pressures through banks of turbines?

She'd just laugh!

The energy released in the May18th, 1980 eruption was the equivelent of 24 megatons thermal energy (7 by blast, rest through release of heat)

Where is Godzilla when you need him. Maybe he is coming out of the volcano which is the reason for the recent activity.

Sure,..you go find a virgin for a sacrifice that is of legal age. I think you would have better luck building a cork to stuff in the volcano.
