Some people already think that's happened by blaming the 2018 eruption on PGV, despite the fact that Kilauea's east rift eruptions have happened for thousands of years.

No, it stopped being a dangerous active rift zone as soon as the final plats were approved making it a "residential neighborhood" that should not have to "bear the burden" of being located near a "major industrial operation".
Please, try to keep up.

"One way to cut down on court battles is to erase the closest neighborhood."
Problem is the court battles are being carried on by a few people who received buyouts from the geothermal relocation fund.
It is now the appropriate place for a major industrial operation and the people living nearby need to put up with it or move.
We have an unlimited source of cheap power but we can't use it to it's full potential.

The problem is that "the people living nearby" can't "put up with it" because the County has effectively taken people's property by not rebuilding the road which then makes the land inaccessible.
We do not have the luxury of choice, as we have been banished.
The cathartic exercise of rebuilding is being denied to us even though Federal funds were allocated for road restoration.
And for the record PGV was a good neighbor in my opinion, except for the heavy drilling days but those didn't last for long.
I agree that PGV should expand and that the Lyman land adjacent to PGV could be used for that purpose.
