Been here in California all of my life and never heard of this caldera. After looking this up just this morning, I have to say that I am more willing to accept what CalTech and the USGS says on this over than some LA Times reporter -

https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/c...l-cause-quakes
https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-81/Int.../fs108-96.html

Both say that while there have been a slight increase in seismic activity, the dormant caldera is actually COOLING so there is no risk of it actually erupting.

Not that it's necessarily the same, but. . .the first sign of activity at Mount St. Helens occurred as a series of small earthquakes. After hundreds of additional earthquakes, the volcano produced its first eruption in over 100 years back in March 1980. That eruption did not involve hot magma, just ash and steam, and debris avalanches, lots of it.

Did Ann Heche and Tommy Lee Jones teach you people nothing? Our next volcano will be from under the La Brea Tar Pits.

There goes all the investments on solar panels if it erupts and everyone would have to pay solar payments in addition to overpriced utilities due to all those green movements that became worthless with so much dust and overcast. Same thing with Yellowstone. I guess these are the too biggest yet small risks to the roadmap to solar. Bet everyone would be wishing they had nuclear power by than.

The reporter actually mentioned that in their article.

This story actually has nothing whatsoever to do with this particular fixation of yours.

It's already been demonstrated that the smoke from wildfires such as we get every summer/fall in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia reduce solar power generation by nearly 50%.
