They are not, "tapping into the magma".
It is not a "magma enhanced well", whatever that means?
When they changed it into an injection well, the injection portion is well above the magma chamber. The point being that that magma chamber below, would heat the re-injected steam back up so that the production well could continue to see super-hot steam.
We are talking about super critical hot water and intense heats and pressure. Do you think this Israeli-Nevada company gets to come over here and do whatever they want and they don't have to report to anybody. I checked with EPA and the Hawai'i State Health Department and neither had any knowledge of this incident. I had to send them Ormat's scientific papers that described the incident/accident and they are now investigating.
Like you are some sort of geologist or scientist that should be taken seriously? In all honesty, it isn't something that needs to be taken seriously! They encountered magma while drilling, engaged scientists and geologists, and changed their plans accordingly!
Why would the EPA or Hawaii State Health Department know or care if nothing was released? Again, mountains out of thin air.
Why don't you complain to the EPA about the volcano which is releasing TONS of toxic gasses every day without a permit?
