If the emissions of Puna geothermal were anywhere near as toxic as proposed, then the people of Ocean View and even Kona would all be dead, since their chronic exposure to volcanic emissions is orders of magnitude more than anything experienced in Puna. Even across the street from the power plant.
But keep up the whining. The state throws money at whiners.

Nobody get sick from the Iselle incident and if they say they did they are liars!

False. Geothermal plant emissions and volcano emissions are apples and oranges.

If the geothermal emissions (of which there is zero, except for the very rare incident) were really so bad, why aren't the employees sick or dying?

They have GMO lungs trans-im-planted?

I was thinking more along the lines of "alien-human hybrid", given that geothermal is obviously a sinister ploy to terraform the planet to support their native lifeforms.

Decades of Geothermal operations being next door may not be helping some achieve this mind-body connection needed to stay healthy.
Do you exhibit any of the following symptoms (full list at gypsy's link) due to your beliefs about the PGV plant? Even on almost every day of the year when there's no evidence of geothermal emissions? Then you may needlessly be breaking you mind-body connection:
Worry,
anger,
hate,
ill will,
irritation,
resentment,
depression,
anxiety,
lack of joy and happiness,
and all other negative emotions and thoughts have a negative effect upon the body and open the door for sickness and disease.

Thanks for the link gypsy, which read in part:
After the – at times, heated – exchange, Petricci admitted that overall... the power plant... is moving in the right direction. The meeting even ended with a handshake and a word of thanks.
