I wonder if having your home and property buried under 50 feet of lava isn't a bigger problem than occasional steam from PGV.  But sure, let's keep pointing the finger at a rare local source of something we on Big Island consume and don't have to import, that's renewable to boot.

Not sure where you figured I was poking fingers.

No transparency on what exactly those "alternative projects" are.  What could possibly be a better usage of FEMA money than allowing residents to access their land?
