I like Gypsy but he or she is not an expert on geothermal energy, nor are you.

"He should know about drilling mud, where the backup generators are, see that they are working, and witness an autoswitchover test."

Gypsy69 - here's your chance. pbmaise thinks you've witnessed an autoswitchover test. Have you? I'm also interested in the comment about the generators being in mud. Any comment about that, Gypsy? Pbmaise appears to have put you in the, er, mud.

"Are you on the Big Island now?"
Yes.

"Have you seen any if this Ohia diebacks?"
Yes.
