Yellowstone’s SuperVolcano

Back in March of 2014, a video made the rounds on Social Media claiming that Bison were running away from Yellowstone’s super volcano. Was this a sign that the over-due world changing eruption would soon occur?

Now as the dust settles, I am going to input some additional data and as an Environmental Scientist, I know there is a great deal more to this equation of doom:

First, if an eruption was about to occur from a super volcano, I think ALL the animals would be on the move.
Second, it has been reported by Park Rangers that the video and images show the Bison actually running toward the “previous eruption” site of Yellowstone’s old super volcano. However, don’t be too relieved. With a normal volcano, the lava’s Conduit (main vent of upward flowing lava) supplied from the Magma deep beneath the earth’s crust, create new passageways to the surface. Known as a side vent, it can travel many miles over the centuries and become the new main vent in a different location. An example of this would be the Hawaiian Islands since each island is a new location where the lava erupted on the surface. In Italy, Mount Vesuvius that destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii in 79AD, shows evidence of now being under the Bay of Naples. Some scientists studying this situation have stated that the water temperature in the Bay has increased and the surface level has raised slightly. One possible conclusion: a side vent of lava has developed and moved toward the Bay.

Now Super Volcanoes have a pool of lava that builds up under the surface and there isn’t a main vent to release the pressure and lava. So when and if all the animals start running, then I would be concerned. The only release valves, per se, are geysers such as Old Faithful.

Scientist have discovered that since 1923, the ground level in Yellowstone is 74cm higher today. This can indicate a swelling of lava under the park’s surface. Some state that Yellowstone’s volcano is 40,000 years overdue. You see, the last eruption was about 640,000 years ago and it is believed that this super volcano erupted in intervals of six hundred thousand years. Nevertheless, there is no hard evidence at this time that an earth changing eruption is about to take place. In addition, there isn’t much humans can do to prevent or stop the event. Life will change and survival will be very difficult world wide. God’s green earth will lose most of its color, the land will become gray and humankind may see the final days. Please note that I said “may” because there are so many variables to this, including our ingenuity and human spirit. Thus, nobody can be certain. This is truly in God’s hands.

Bill Lauto is an Environmental Scientist and Energy Consultant who came on the scene in 1981 to present facts and teach details about how we can save money, energy, and our environment, without making sacrifices. His voice was one among the few who taught green facts long before anyone else talked about Going Green.

Mr. Lauto has an Environmental Science degree from St. John's University, Energy Auditor Certification from New York Institute of Technology, and Certification in Thermal/Heating from S.U.N.Y. at Farmingdale. He interned at Equitable Environmental Health that brought him to evaluate the environment at LILCO's Nuclear power plant that never opened. As an entrepreneur, he operates EnergyHotwire.com, GoingTrueGreen.com and holds a U.S. Patent with a Trademark on an environmental and energy-related product.

Mr. Lauto has done and managed thousands of energy audits for homeowners. Not one recommended a single action that implied sacrifice. He never stated once that to save money and energy one must turn down their thermostat and wear a sweater. During the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day, Bill Lauto was the Energy Advisor to the Earth Day Committee in New York. Mr. Lauto was the attending expert witness to the press conferences of former New York’s Major Dinkins and Commissioner Mark Green. His expertise has been utilized by power companies such as: the New York Power Authority and the Long Island Lighting Company as well as by Mr. Mark Green, former Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, NYC.

Mr. Lauto has served as the Environmental and Energy expert on several television news and radio talk shows. He has provided information and consulting services on topics such as: air, cooling, heating, lighting, appliances, recycling stations, solar, wind, bio-fuels, hydrogen and water to: Clearwater, Consumer Report Magazine, European American Bank, Home Depot, LILCO, NBC, Macy*s, New York Power Authority, NYPIRG, Time Warner, EPA, thousands of homeowners, celebrities, small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and many government accounts.

Information about Mr. Lauto, his articles, and work have been published in newspapers across the country, including: Consumer Report magazine, Kiplinger's Financial magazine and Business Ethics magazine. Mr. Lauto has been interviewed by ABC news, the New York Times, Cable News L.I. and was in a special television home audit hosted by Al Roker of NBC, but was never aired due to breaking news.

For over twenty years, Mr. Lauto has been stating that we don’t need foreign oil, we have the technology to make America energy independent. EnergyHotwire.com serves to educate the public for free on how to lower energy cost by 60% or more, while GoingTrueGreen.com uses videos and Mr. Lauto's Blog to help dispel mis-information and provide the facts about truly Going Green.
