Scientists to Pump Water Into Volcano

This sounds like it's straight out of Hollywood. Scientists will blast 24 million gallons of water into a dormant central Oregon volcano to showcase green technology.

The government, Google, and more investors have pumped $43 million into the project, expected to happen next summer.
