Why? So that $300,000 can be wasted on telling us that geothermal health fears are unwarranted and that the real issues come from the natural gasses released by the volcano, steam vents, etc., 24x7x365?
That is exactly why a health study is needed and should have been done over 30 years ago, BEFORE starting geothermal. How is spending Geothermal Asset Funds wasted on these activities?
Until a comprehensive health study is done, blaming long term health issues on natural background or geothermal exposure is largely speculation on both sides.
Accute health issues from blowouts and unabated releases from geothermal is much clearer and unexcusable. Having additional oversight by CDC and EPA should make this very clear soon.
