What would the sky above the illuminated plant look like if were venting the heated volcanic gases as said to be released by the PGV plant manager? Do you happen to know the color of the plants site lighting and what it looks like when it illuminates the released volcanic gases? Was it just Hydrogen or was it hydrogen sulfide mixed with sulphur dioxide and a myriad of other gases? I'll bet you your lunch that volcanic gases can be seen when vented from the plant and I'd also bet they are even more oddly apparent when illuminated by the plant. Orange sky... yes, highly plausible. If it were just hydrogen... no, but were not talking just hydrogen are we, its a volcanically heated system not a hydrogen gas heated system.
More nonsense... why do you insist that there is sulfur dioxide in the geothermal steam? None there. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas - look it up. High pressure sodium vapor lights in a driving rainstorm with or without steam release will look orange. Our idiot news media can't be bothered to distinguish between a steam release and a geothermal gas release and Puna Pono Alliance can't let an opportunity like that pass without exploiting public ignorance of geothermal technology.
