Aaron, first, why so caustic? Yes, I read it and am aware of the changes. Frankly, it's not enough, in my opinion. Further, you wrote elsewhere you knew Mike well. Mike is not PGV, ORMAT is PGV, and has not provided the Puna community with what is required, not to mention addressed the community's concerns.
I took a tour also (several times since Tru Geothermal owned it, all the way to present day) , but it does not mean anything. The health concerns are REAL. You should be a little more concerned about the ramifications of further expansion without addressing what is going on in Puna for YEARS.
ORMAT/PGV has made BIG money off our backs, and HELCO has the highest profits in the worst economy. Something is wrong with this picture, no?
Since the PR firm who was hired by ORMAT/PGV was released, are you part of the new "PR team" or something?
Do you know when is ORMAT/PGV going to hold meetings over there, if at all? How does your community feel, if you know?
Oh, and maybe your break from your blog was a good idea. Relax, Aaron, your words are cutting, and us Hawaiians bruise easy.
