Only for a little while. Back to the important things, like can we plug our Cybertruck into our home…?If the Yellowstone volcano blows we're all kind of screwed. But... being inside a Cybertruck with solar will greatly enhance your chances of survival.
USGS has modelled the ash fallout, and practically no state would be untouched but suffer from ash. So you could say goodbye to Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota would not have happy times either and be smothered by ash. The rest of the US except the south and east coast would be heavily affected by ash, and the south and east coast would still be harmed.
Note in particular California and the breadbasket in the US Midwest. It’s covered in up to four inches of toxic ash, killing basically every crop there is. The result is that the production of meat, cereal and fruit basically stops. So the US will have to import food to avoid mass starvation and death.
However, the entire world would be affected by the ash as well, causing a global volcanic winter and destroy crops globally for years. Flights will be downed during this time, possibly made impossible at all. This may even be followed by even higher global warming when the sulphuric acid is washed out of the atmosphere. Oh, and don’t forget acid rains, possibly killing lakes and rivers, maybe even oceans.
Either way, this will cause a near-total collapse of the global economic system, which will be the only thing that can feed the US until it recovers. So nobody will be able to sell the grain that the US will need to feed itself during the recovery.
The result? Massive starvation and death in the US.
Not that the rest of the world is any better off. A supervolcano eruption is basically a gigadeath event, as in billions dead.
