lavalava, your ideas on how to help this situation did not make much sense to me. Maybe I can help clear some things for you though?. The relocation process is not what it may appear. They can pay UP to 130%, normally they pay less because the house and property has to be inspected, and pass all the requirements. My house and property will not be getting 130% just as the previous 6 relocations have not received that value. To be honest with you I don't believe that we will ever be relocated?. Now that property value is on the rise again it should be interesting to see how many new relocations we see from that list this year?.
Also it is very hard to prove your sicknesses or health problems are from Geothermal because of no real health studies since 1994(WHY?.) My wife lost her brother at 38 years young (rare untreatable cancer), I lost two good friends before the ages of 30 (rare cancers), lots of other tumor problems the closer you get to the plant. Without the proper health studies no one can prove anything to satisfy people like you. I say Geothermal has contributed to the high rate of cancer and much more. Geothermal says "oh no cant be us." Mean while people truly are sick and dying young (why?). I lived through all the leaks and mishaps, I still remember all the trees dying around geothermal, the thick rotten- egg smelling stuff we would get dropped off the bus in to, at the bottom of Leilani was no joke either. Point is we have had short and long term exposure to these leaked gasses, also mentally this situation is not good (stress kills too).
P.S. I feel that this relocation system in place is only a bluff and that many will never be relocated. The funds set aside for relocation has already been mishandled and spent wrongly. Now who really knows how much is left for its actual purpose?. I heard conflicting remaining balance figures that differed by the millions?. I fail to understand WHY?. Lots of grey areas in this relocation system?.
