Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought 451

drewtheman writes "New studies of the plumbing that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park shows the plume and the magma chamber under the volcano are larger than first thought and contradicts claims that only shallow hot rock exists. University of Utah research professor of geophysics Robert Smith led four separate studies that verify a plume of hot and molten rock at least 410 miles deep that rises at an angle from the northwest."

At some point in the next X years this will happen:

E-Vehicle Monthly Lease Rate + Charging Cost + Lower EV Maintenance Rates
                                will be less than or equal too
Monthly fuel cost + higher maintenance costs of current gas powered vehicles

I think when this happens, it will trigger a lot of people to walk away from gas powered vehicles.

I've already taken the plunge and ride an electric bike to work every day. Its a 60km round trip and faster than car or transit. I get some exercise on it too when I feel like pedalling. I drool at the thought of a battery that would give my bike 600km range!

At the end of the article he sums it up in his own words:

"Here's the thing. I learned that I did my best. I mean, I really tried my best. How many people can say that? I worked hard, and I mean really hard. I worked seven days a week from 8 am until 3 am. Every day. We drilled and drilled all winter when it was dark and the windchill was 80 below. Everyone thought I was crazy. But most people just never do their best, hey. And I did."

Sad that society today would classify this kind of individual as a "rogue".
