One of America's most dangerous volcanoes will soon power homes

On the slopes of an Oregon volcano, engineers are building the hottest geothermal power plant on Earth.

The plant will tap into the infernal energy of Newberry Volcano, “one of the largest and most hazardous active volcanoes in the United States,” according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It has already reached temperatures of 629 degrees Fahrenheit, making it one of the hottest geothermal sites in the world, and next year it will start selling electricity to nearby homes and businesses.
