In the HTH a few days ago, this story appeared:

I have clipped this part of the story below:
".....Residents of Puna, home to the state’s only geothermal plant, have been outspoken about potential health impacts.
A protest against further geothermal expansion last month attracted more than 200 people in Hilo.
Eru said the Maori trust takes health and environmental impacts seriously but noted that one of its wells has been releasing steam and gas unabated.
She said sheep continue to graze next to it without any problems.
“As I say, the proof is in the pudding, and the sheep are still alive,” Eru said.
Additionally, she joked that hydrogen sulfide, a gas released by geothermal activity, can have the same effect as Viagra....."
So, lets do this.
Lets get about 20 sheep and let them graze around the GEO wells. Lets see what happens.
As for the hydrogen sulfide/Viagra comment, I don't really know what to say or how to test that! Other than to round up a few volunteers!
Obie, you game?
