Yes, but the article says that these plants only "exasperate" existing respiratory conditions. They cost a lot of money too.

Let's build one Kona side.

HELCO talked about burning trash but backed off when Mayor Billy wanted to charge them for the trash

We could solve a bunch of problems at once by capping the vent with a scrubber stack (cleans the air, removes VOG), using it to burn trash (no more dump), and generating electricity (cheaply!).

I assume the protectors wouldn't like that plan.

Good luck with your EIS on that plan...

Don't know about your EIS statement, works fine and passed an EIR plenty of places. Mostly steam is all that's left leaving the stack with the "afterburners" in the exhaust stack.
