Unknown and unanswered issues addressed in this forum are
1- Not sure if HELCO would subsidize the Puna Residents with cheaper rates
2- Current emissions levels of h2s and so2 in PPM not PPB ( this can be misleading)
3- Projected emission level numbers if the project is implemented
4- Will there be Continuous ground water Monitoring , will there be dedicated wells testing pre and post water samples , will the results be in the public Domain.
5- Will the Well geological Logs in 3D or 4D, available for public scrutiny.
6- Will there be continuous Subsidence Monitoring Program if so will the data be available for public scrutiny.

(Bold portion) What if the Puna residents in the "relocation zone" were offered a discount on their monthly HELCO bill? What if the County, instead of purchasing the properties on the relocation list, offered the first 500-600KW hours free to the resident? That would be a direct benefit to the host community. Equates to a little more than $200.00 a month.
May also prompt the County to utilize the geothermal royalties for more than just purchasing property at 130% of value, which perhaps may end up saving money if this choice is given to the residents.
We need to do something, these HELCO bills are out of control!!! Thoughts?
