The Potential Of Magma Power

With the constant debate over which sources of energy our country should harness, Hank Green, of SciShow, has a valid suggestion: Why not volcanic power? “One of the most massively powerful forces we have here on Earth, a store of energy so gigantic that it liquifies trillions upon trillions of tons of rock, and  is independent from the sun’s energy output. It’s the pressure of the Earth pushing down on itself, heating its interior to such dramatic temperatures that every once in a while a pimple (volcano) will erupt on its surface, spewing rock kilometers into the air. If only we could capture that energy.”
