Power from Yellowstone

Not even worth it, It is unlikely that Congress would vote to place a power plant in a National Park.
But like if you want to know how to build a good seawall, you speak to Dutch, learning from Iceland about geothermal
would be a good idea. (There are plenty of places in the US that have geothermal, resources, but are not National parks.)

EGS plants fracture impermeable rock formations to access hot fluids needed to generate power. The high-pressure hydraulic fracturing inherent in many EGS projects has in the past caused seismic events that are large enough to be felt by the public, similar to induced seismicity caused by shale gas production.
