Obie, thank you for your support.
Geothermal probably is not the culprit, although they should not be excluded from this environmental disaster started in lower Puna unless proven so in my opinion. They could help fund the obviously needed studies if they were concerned i thought. Or halt production or expansion until the situation was under control or studies were complete, again i thought wrong. Instead they have had the power line road behind leilani bull dozed, cut down hundreds if not thousands of trees within a 1 mile radius of geothermal. They have quickly expanded or drilled another well before the studies have either been started or completed. They were very smart to freeze the relocation fund as well when they did, jmo because the numbers on the list was growing after the hurricane mishap. Leilani estates now being ground zero, and just down wind of an expanding experimental power plant should not be misleading scientists to having concerns if Ormats operations Could be contributing to the die-back.
Obie, you once told me the steam or gas my wife and I were seeing often at early morning hours around the geothermal plant and leilani was a natural phenomenon if I am not mistaken? Well since about a month or two after being blessed by hurricane Izelle we have not seen or smelled the common or daily phenomena the way we were, did it dry up when the geothermal well failed shortly after the storm or was the well leaking production through the nearby grounds?. Anyway our intentions were not to mislead the scientists, we were concerned about our homes and children brushing their teeth and showering with the disease matter from the decaying Ohia leaves. J.B. Friday helped ease my wife's concerns a few Years later. Have a nice day Obie.
