So they need to re-drill constantly? (after each m3.)
- khazhoux 9y agoI have no idea what you mean by "m3", and I did some google searches ("m3 volcano" "m3 drilling") and it's still not clear. If "m3" is jargon related to volcanos, geology, drilling, or geothermic power generation, I submit to you that most HN readers will be unfamiliar with the term. Or maybe it's just me.

- quicklyfrozen 9y agoProbably refers to earthquakes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale).
- mos_basik 9y agoI think GP is referring to this sentence near the end of the article: >Cooling Yellowstone in this manner would happen at a rate of one metre a year, taking of the order of tens of thousands of years until just cold rock was left. And I think that sentence is vague enough that any argument using only it as a basis will be pretty weak.

- transverse 9y agoNope. Once its energy is drained, it will become dormant. This will take a lot of gradual deep drilling.
