Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

[Guest]

No problem Obie,
Hopefully we don't have to worry about anything like (this)in lower Puna or around our neighbors green, safe, reliable, electrical, exploratory geothermal power plant.

Ormats ways of deep drilling or capping of its leaking or abandoned wells are completely different, or are being monitored for envirornmental possibilities right?

Could a new fungus ever be created, evolve, mutate, or be even possible due to leaking deep drilled wells or geothermal brine fluids, oil, gas, steam, heat, or waste?. The potential may warrant research, environmental, or health studies( Finally!! ),jmo.
Some fungi and maybe there is hundreds are probably healthy for most trees to grow, while others may increase bacteria or a type of fungus that may eventually kill a sensitive tree like an Ohia,jmo.

On a flip note..

This (SOD) disease they have been battling in some of the western states seems or acts very similar to our (ROD) disease,jmo. Is our county or state implementing many of the same techniques or resources to combat our (ROD) Outbreak here in Puna?

Has anything been recognized(Culprit)yet as to why, or what, is the cause or causes for new strains of tree killing fungus like SOD or ROD?.
