Geothermal energy, is that where its at ?
I saw this in Hawaii, it looks like great fun in photos but it was scary hot and seemed unpredictable.
Geothermal isn't talked about much.

One wouldn't normally try to tap into an active lava flow.
However in my country there's quite a bit of geothermal power generation.

Pele's Curse
Thousands of pounds of rocks stolen from Hawaii are returned by mail to the island each year because former tourists fear their fortunes have been
reversed by a wrathful goddess.

I have literally tons of volcanic rock on my property. Mostly pyroclastic
(pumice). But there are some obsidian nuggets here and there and an
underlayer of lava with both rhyolitic and basaltic flows. The 'new' stuff is
around 1400 years old. And when newberry erupts again, it was nice
knowing ya.

Looks pretty but makes a mess of things.

Yes living on an active volcano can get quite 'interesting'.

The craziest part about that is I can't tell where the gif loops back around.
