Opinion: Yellowstone Needs Saving and Horizontal Drilling May Be the Answer

There are grand challenges in engineering: energy, water, climate, health and information. I’d like to suggest a specific challenge, one that the energy E&P community is primed to resolve, and that is the Yellowstone Caldera. The Yellowstone Caldera has as much potential to supply carbon-free geothermal energy to millions of homes for generations as it has the potential to destroy humanity. And the clock is ticking.
