I think the nukes are going to be a lot more dangerous than the volcano, and now we have fallout and an erupting volcano. I've heard a suggestion that we aggressively harvest geothermal power from a volcano in order to cool it. But geothermal power can itself trigger earthquakes, and I'm not sure it's realistic we could harvest power at a rate to move the needle on cooling a volcano.
