I wouldn't be *too* concerned just yet.  For one thing, the whole "scalar
energy" business is one of Tesla's wackier ideas and is generally regarded
as pseudoscience.  (Remember, as brilliant as he was, he was also mentally
ill.)  People who talk about "scalar waves"  are usually the same people
pitching perpeptual motion devices.  A web search on the topic will reveal
some pretty absurd claims being made.

A large eruption at Yellowstone is a worst-case scenario, and also the
least likely.  The chances of any eruption happening there in our
lifetime, much less during a trip to the area, are probably almost
vanishingly small.  I wouldn't hesitate to visit.
