You build a airtight dome over the volcano and run water up to it and then run steam turbines of the increased pressure. Electricity from energy that would eitherwise be put towards helfire and brimstone raining down on you.

Could be dangerous for the people
working on or at it. Some other
people have figured that the
ground near there can be hot fairly
close to the surface. So what they
did was pipe water 300 feet down
and sent another pipe near there
to pick up the water as steam. It
worked. |

You may want to choose another
category for this idea, people tend
to look badly on an idea just
placed in the other category when
it could feasably go someplace
else. |

This looks like plain old geothermal power to me. |

I've alway thought that if we could just capture all the hot air around here, we could power a small town. |

An airtight dome over a whole volcano? If you run the turbines for a million years, you might just about break even. |

You could use a small volcano. Ideas on how to keep it a small volcano? |

How about putting a heat exchanger like a big radiator over the top of it; because active volcanos are always changing, making it difficult to build on. |
