In the above, obviously I have not computed or in any way made some
reasonable
calculation as to whether we can tame a volcano like Pinatubo from
ever erupting
by having electric power stations drawing off heat to make electricity
and thus
preventing the Volcano from exploding. It seems to me that such a
scheme is
possible and thus taming a volcano.

Now I am always looking for why Earth has so much salt water and what
use can
all that salt have for us.

I wonder if we pump saltwater into a volcano such as Pinatubo or
Mt.St.Helens before
it had erupted whether the steam and the salt would have separated out
in the process
and whether the salt would have thus remained behind in the depths of
the volcano.
So that the salt would have aided in cooling the volcano and
increasing the world's
fresh water supply as a added bonus?
