If all goes to plan, the first borehole will be completed in 2027 and will mark the first time anyone has ever implanted sensors directly into a magma chamber... If the first drilling experiment succeeds, the team will move onto the second borehole, due to be completed in 2029 — and this could be the global gamechanger. It's here the team will attempt to harness the intense heat of magma to produce a new kind of extreme geothermal energy, many times more powerful than conventional...

I have long wondered if you dug a sufficient hole into a magma chamber that is under a volcano, in addition to generating power, if it could be used to reduce pressure so that the volcano won't erupt.

Magna can have varying amounts of gas. The mass at temperature is huge, and my feeling is that you won't make a big difference.

I would put a steam whistle on the hole if it were me.
