But we know for sure it can be done because in 2009 a nearby Icelandic geothermal plant accidentally drilled into Krafla's magma chamber. The incident revealed important insights about the liquid state and dynamic interactions of the magma, although the drill's steel casings were obliterated in the process. On the bright side, this incursion also showed that exposing the magma chamber doesn't cause volcanoes to erupt.

Best "on the bright side" I have ever read.

I love how it's first "Oh, we had some great findings." and only second "And no one died.".

We get the vast majority from hydroelectric energy, since we have huge glacial rivers.
