While this would be a very good source of geothermal power for us puny humans, I doubt that we could drill a hole wide enough to accommodate 1 cubic meter per second, which according to TFA, is the rate at which the magma chamber is growing.

Not long ago, in Chile, it was demonstrated that a deep hole wide enough for a man can be drilled reasonably quickly. That would be a hole with a diameter which is a significant fraction of a meter, which could handle a flow of 1 cubic meter per second for many materials. If the hole enlarges itself, somewhat more might be able to flow.

I'm sorry, but after reading the article, it appears that they will be charging money for information that should be, and probably already is, available to the general public.

The information about how to survive a crash might be available to the public, but what else does the airline know that affected their decision to offer this? I suppose I better add :-)
