Re: potential venus problem? - volcanism

We've touched on Venus terraforming.  Here's something I thought of-it appears that since Venus has no active plate tectonics, that basically every billion years or so the pressure builds and it blows and totally resurfaces with new lava-which would destroy any life on it after terraforming.  Could we perhaps drill holes in the crust to encourage pressure release?
