If I may ask a few questions regarding if and when Ormat drills its new well.
Anyone know the depth in meters that needs to be reached by Ormat for this new well to be completed or successful?.
Anyone know how much of Puna's underground water or reservoirs is currently being used by geothermal, say in gallons per minute or daily, not sure how deep they pull and return this water, or if they do?
The chemicals mixed and used in the process to pull steam from below us are known as?, can these chemicals and gasses cause any extra heating of our underground water reservoir?
With so many(hundreds of thousands) of Ohia forest trees dying and fish kills in lower Puna is it possible that the lower ground water has heated up an extra degree or more, could this cause extra steam to rise through the porous lava tubes and attack sensitive roots like the ohia or coral reefs?
Without any real oversight or short and long term health or environmental studies how can one say geothermal is NOT causing such NIMBY questions as mine?.
