Ted, 1991 was absolutely devastating for lower Puna residents affected by the geothermal accidents. I was directly working with victims/patients everyday during that era for years, at first I thought they were over-reacting hippies and scammers but slowly and surely I learned thru observation and hard facts these folks were harmed and in danger. The location of geothermal on the Big Island was abruptly changed to the Leilani area from the original designated site in Volcanos near the Golf course community. They would have nothing of it and luckily had enough attorneys living in the area to block the development.
Now this heavy industry is employing fracking. Do your research, what area isn't eventually devastated and ruined by fracking? Because of recent lava activity(within 100+ yrs) the underground looks like swiss cheese, lava tubes taking poisoned waters all throughout lower Puna, polluting private and state land from the bottom up.
Bold added.
The fracking statement is a LIE.
Fracking (new buzz term) is not done in Hawai'i, can not be done in Hawai'i, and will never be done in Hawai'i, specifically with regard to geothermal. Period.
Sorry, O/T. Like to know what Wally Lau thinks about geothermal, especially in Puna. Hope that is one of the questions asked during the next forum.
