Alaska Volcanoes Not
Suitable For Harnessing
As A Source of Power
ANCHORAGE, UP) — A volcano
expert said today Alaska’s volcan
oes are of the “explosive” type,
which would make them unusally
difficult to harness as a source of
energy.
Conceivably, Dr. Ray E. Wil
cox, 38-year-old director of Alas
ka volcano investigations for the
U.S. Geological Survey, told news
men, the world’s fiery peaks can
some day be tapped to obtain al
most unlimited energy.
Even now, he said, one volcano
in Italy produces superheated
steam, through pipes tapped into
its sides.
But he is skeptical of such re
sults from any of the estimated 38
historical, or now potentially ac
tive, peaks in the Aleutian arc.
They extend from the Katmai
Monument to Mount Spurr, which
erupted across Cook Inlet from
Anchorage last week.
Such peaks, the Denver scientist
said, generally only erupt ash or
pumice to relieve interior pres
sure at infrequent intervals.
