I think there is some geothermal heating coming from Yellowstone.....as an aside.

I have wondered if any future disaster could be prevented by drilling horizontal holes and running water through them to generate steam. This could halt the flow of magma as well as providing a large source of energy.

I believe Yellowstone has been dormant for 70k years. Its not likely to explode any time soon......but you never know.
