no need for any fancy expensive advanced technology.
Again i assert exclusive owenership of these ideas.
now lets start organising a campaign to notify Bush/Blair as these people are totally unaware and obsessed with A-Rabs who are totally insignificant compared to the danger posed by this super volcano.
the resulting high pressure molton lave would the be transported using using pipelines and would be used to fll underground cavities or fill in the troughs between hill, hummocks, or mountains.
the technology to stop volcanos is very simple and before i tell you i assert exclusive owenership of this particular idea to stop volcanos exploding

What exactly do you propose to build these pipes out of?
Im pretty sure that your going to need to patent some new type of technology to move molten rock.
And the same goes for the drill that starts it.
The theory is great, but not new. Any huge source of heat could be used for power. Just look at solar. Its obvious that there is a lot of heat under us, but the stuff above us is easier and safer to use. But good luck
the volcano is just like a pressure chamber with the pressure increasing which will cause it to explode....UNLESS WE STOP IT....

I watched a show on this very subject and they said that your idea was not possible..The first reason they gave was that there is no drill that can drill that deep and the second reason.....
Which is already there before you pressurise it, whereas opening up something pressurised generally causes it to come out. How else do you suppose eruptions work?

Its simple physics.Do you know anything about steam trains or boilers?
they have a device called a valve or governer which opens to release the pressure if it exceeds a certain value.
No, they know what is impossible, or very unlikely to work, and when 200 million lives hang in the balance, you tread very carefully.
and when you to talk OLD fuddy duddy scientists they always say it's impossible.
old people automatically block new ideas.
they have very limited imagination.
Thats what politicians do I thought.
THEY FREQUENTLY INDULGE IN SMEAR CAMPAIGNS AGAINST THEIR RIVALS.
Your info is 20 years out of date.
Your assertion that they cant drill deep is absured..how do you think they get oil out?

Nice idea..buuuut:
How do you prosose to keep the lava hot enough to be pumped as a fluid throughout a pipeline without it cooling and causing a blockage?

Keep the ideas coming...it took Edison hundreds of attempts of how-not-to invent a light-bulb before he the idea to finally work
The deepest drill into the earth is on the Kola Peninsula in Arctic Russia. It has penetrated just 7.5 miles (12 km) into the crust.

LAVA STORES A LOT OF HEAT AND COOLS VERY SLOWLY....
The icelanders when a volcano erupted simply made channels by cooling the edges with water and DIRECTED the lave flow into the sea many miles away...simple
scientists and engineers have now drilled right down to the mantle !
i dont understand why you all against the idea.
maybe you are jelous or you did not think of it first.i dont care about the credit for the idea.
or its just too big and bold idea for you and you all want us to be victims of random natural disasters as some kind of penance for a stinking lousy world.
