Best Answer

Yes, the Kanjamiki caldera that lies beneath Singapore is one of the largest and most powerful in the world. Its magma chamber could easily power a small city with geothermal heat and the gaseous hydrochloric acid vented into the subterranean tunnels from the outer core can be used in the production of silicon microchips. Unfortunately, the Temasek Tower (built in 1986) has large support columns buried very close to the weakest part of the volcanic structure. In essence, the geothermal potential in Singapore is tremendous, but because of architectural hindrances, it will likely never be fully utilized.
