I was thinking of fracking in terms of releasing pressure. Stuff like this could be a lot more important to try to manage than climate change IMO.
As to west of the rockies. I lived there most of my life. As far as I know if that Super Volcano goes off most of those places are toast too... plus we can expect and instant ice age, and potentially worse things.
That is insane. I can't imagine a volcano eruption that big. I guess it would devastate about 1/3 of the U.S.?
Something like that.
