Ted, this ain't the mainland. You'd never see anything coming from the stacks on a power plant. Lived next to a few of them. Even on Oahu they are poorly run. I see stuff coming out of the stacks there as well.
While yes the volcano does send out way more pollution than helco every could but does that mean we have to add MORE too what happens in nature?
Just so happens I think adding scrubbers to the stacks is a good thing. Makes one aware of our environment and actually TRY to work the machines properly so to not keep replacing million dollar scrubbers. I worked in many power plants and it's inexcusable to maintain equipment like that. Esp, when we are paying the most $ for kWh's...we should have the best/cleanest equipment around.
