plus drilling into a supervolcano is certainly not risky at all 😂

I love how OP has an idea to literally tap into a volcano for power but you’re here talking about a fucking Tesla lmao

let’s say you buy a reasonably cheap used Tesla Model 3, that is still ~$20,000 most students that drive either drive older, budget-friendlier options in the $5,000-$15,000 range or receive financial help from their parents it’s only about ~10% of students that can actually afford this type of car monthly payment would be about ~$450 a month, this means you’d want an income around ~$3,000 a month, plus insurance for young people is expensive and can easily add another ~$200 a month

The reality is that America is not running out of sources of energy. There’s geothermal in plenty of places other than Yellowstone. Southern Oregon and California has tons available. And we can already power everything with nuclear, we just don’t have the facilities built. It’s more about creating the infrastructure as a whole than needing to exploit something like Yellowstone.

A $20,000 Tesla becomes cheaper than a $15,000 ICE car in 3 ish 4 years, factoring in gas price, oil changes, and other maintenance

doesn’t change the fact that it’s not affordable for more than 4 out of every 5 students

Because it’s practically impossible, drilling into a supervolcano is incredibly risky and could lead to catastrophic hydrothermal explosions or volcanic activity. The underground fluids at Yellowstone are highly acidic and filled with minerals that quickly destroy typical drilling equipment. There are better alternatives to expand geothermal without touching Yellowstone

I… agree with you?

I, personally, with help funding the car from my parents could probably have gotten a Tesla. But (a) I got money and (b) I don’t trust their build quality, I’d probably end up spending much more in maintenance. If I was going to get an electric vehicle it would not be a Tesla.
