PGV plans new well

[Guest]

Thought I would spend a few minutes here and post some things positive about Bob Patricci. Bob has employed many locals around these parts of Puna with a very fair wage doing honorable work. I have worked on many beautiful rock walls in Puna for Bob, logged at times for him also. He has always been honest and willing to put in countless amount of time, money, and work to help out neighbors, friends, family, visitors, and community when needed. Bob is very educated about Puna's geothermal and how the state handles it's big businesses. I would always want Bob and his intentions on my side and I consider him a friend. He has done more with less in this area than companies like Ormat, or who ever owns Geo now and in the past.
I don't want to divert this thread or topic any further away from Puna's geothermal and its plans of drilling another new well during an ongoing east rift zone eruption. When I think about Geothermal I think about Bob for many reasons, mostly because of his knowledge from countless hours of self educating. He bought and invested in that land down in Poihiki some 15-20 years ago. The land was cheap like maybe $50,000 or less for 10 acres of paradise below Geothermal, most would be nuts not to buy in that area years ago before the development of Poihiki. Puna is Bobs home, love him or hate him he will always stand up for what he believes in, which is only another reason i have grown to respect him.
