Do they use energy coming from volcanoes? And if no, why?
In: Earth Science
Yes and no.
In the sense you’re thinking, no, its too unpredictable, dangerous and time consuming to attempted to harness the actual volcano itself.
But!
We do use geothermal sources for energy generation, underground water sources (usually) that are heated from volcanic activity. We harness the steam they create to make energy, a lot like a nuclear reactor without the deadly radiation threat
