I think this could actually be someone impersonating a famous mountain on Twitter, however, the account is verified with a Blue Checkmark, so this must be the real Mt. St. Helens then.
But how could this be possible?
As a politician I can assure you that if you vote for me I will put into law that volcanoes will be forbidden to erupt in our wonderful country.
tf is this concrete shit just use some goddamn sandpaper to sand the fuckin mountain flat duh you motherfuckers is dumb af fr
Can we get this dude to be head of volcano NASA or w/e?
This reminds me of when Trump suggested nuking a hurricane.
It reminded me of him recommanding drinking desinfactant.
I remember reading an article discussing the difficulties of re-directing a lava flow. One thing they mentioned was they tried dropping concrete blocks into or in front of the flow, and the concrete just floated on the lava.
Dude just tape a cease and desist letter on the volcano. And if they still don’t listen just get the cops to shoot it.
Nobody going to mention that we have a sentient mountain with internet access? Wtf
It’s 2023 things are weird now you just gotta accept it
So… Just turn a blank round into a live bullet…
Excellent analogy, but now I want the math. Think we could push this past the gravity well? Fuck space elevator, I got ejecto-volcano cuz.
Isn’t a space cannon or whatever it’s called a very old sci-fi idea?
It’s like the oldest, it’s how Jules Verne sent men to the moon in “From the Earth to the Moon”
Does remind me of my ongoing question of why we aren’t using volcanoes as generators for geothermal power.
Apparently it can be implemented in a way that deliberately draws heat away from the source that’s being used for the power, so why not just stick cooling rods into volcanos and then get free electricity courtesy of the earth being a hot pocket?
Geothermal use steam to generate power tho, and active volcanoes is quite risky to build a high cost power plant because we wouldn’t know when it will erupt. Also active volcanoes might be too hot for the job.
How hot is too hot tho? Doesn’t more hot just mean more energy?
Also, could you locate the electricity generating parts away from the volcano itself and just conduct the heat from the hotzone itself far enough away to still draw the heat out of the system without posing an infrastructure risk to the system?
I really wonder about the potential to basically turn volcanic hot zones into batteries and just suck the excess heat energy that makes them dangerous out of them. It seems like the biggest untapped source of power we have at our disposal next to the sun and all the forces it drives.
Nuclear reactors and geothermal power plants both simply boil water to push steam through a spinning turbine to make energy. That’s literally it. There’s no other way to utilize that heat in a safer or more efficient way.
