So much misinformation here, so much discussion without hard facts, so much surmising, it's mind boggling. If there are people being affected, this kind of rhetoric does not help in getting to the bottom of any health concerns. (Shaking my head)
If the plant indeed causes continued health problems, somebody please prove it! At least the County is doing yet another "study", and please remove all biased opinions (like Puna Pono, or PGV, etc.) from this whole matter, and keep our community safe, and feeling safe.
I heard the initial call on the scanner the night of the storm, and each call thereafter, including another one today. During the storm, after the storm, the meetings Puna Pono held, (oh, because Bob Petricci and Damon Tucker says it, it's truth? Seriously?), watched the video testimonies, and the fallout from this perceived "blowout". The term "blowout" does not apply, yet was used to sensationalize the shut down of the plant during the storm.
There are still people calling every single day that they are sick from the "rotten egg smell". Dispatch is dealing with so many calls, these are becoming extremely frustrating, especially when all readings are "0". Not just from PGV, but from Fire and Civil Defense staff.
The night of the second Puna Pono meeting, the calls were backed up with some serious other cases, due to rescue going again to the Puna Pono meeting. The first meeting had rescue there to "test" everyone who felt sick, and rescue ended up transported several to the hospital. This is social terrorism raising it's ugly head once again.
The County, State, and Federal Government owe it to the people of Puna in the surrounding area who can prove they are affected by this plant should be addressed. No question. Fear mongering at a time of crisis is deplorable (at best), and counterproductive to finding solutions.
There is always the relocation fund, and a whole new set of conditions. You can move even if you bought your home after the plant was already there when you purchased the property. If the plant is that much of a concern, the County and State should ask for "relocation funding" to be part of our FEMA monies, if we ever get that.
To date, I have not heard nor read, that Kenoi "ordered" anything. Period.
JMO.
