Mining yellowstone for its geothermal power in order to prevent a volcanic eruption would be a Kardashev Scale Type I accomplishment.

In other words, such a thing is completely infeasible given our current understanding of science and technology.

The time required to develop such a capability would span so many lifetimes that is it effectively science fiction.

It is not that big a deal. It is in fact a lot easier than mining deeper geothermal which we can also do, but at much greater expense. Yellowstone aside, exploitation of resources is one thing America is profoundly good at. If we start now, we can finish it in say one thousand years and fully eliminate the supervolcano risk, also enjoying much green energy in the process.

Extracting geothermal power for its own sake would not be, and probably should be done.
