Geothermal energy is used in Iceland for both industrial and home heating. This heat comes from thermal vents, not directly from the related volcanoes.
The US has more than 70 electrical generation plants using energy from steam created by hot rock layers. The Philippines is another major user of this energy, which provides about 20% of electrical production. Again, however, this is not directly from volcanoes.
In Hawaii, molten lava is used by tourists to cook food, but this is hazardous and difficult to control, since the lava is at a temperature of up to 2000° F.
