HOTPE, good evening and thanks for the returned question and or correction. I always have questions too, let me start off by attempting to answer yours.
I would think that the abundance of Wind, solar, hydro, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of increased geothermal productions could or is producing enough electricity for all Big Island Residents use. Maybe not the added tourism resorts electricity use though. The state knows and has known for years that up to 500 mwatts can be generated or tapped into from lower puna's geothermal volcanic resources and are probably wanting to take advantage of it with today's upgraded geothermal technology and Green stimulus government money. jmo
With possible questionable over sight on this current geothermal's power plants operations, who's to say the current 32 or 38 mwatts said to be being produced, are even legit today?
OR, that extra produced geothermal Resources haven't been given away or part of private deals in the past, or could be in the future?
many folks have and are still buying property and homes around this districts expanding Geothermal industries. Some not even being made aware of the current power plant, or the geothermal expansion increases that are being planned for this district.
Maybe area real estate companies, title companies, and banks should all have to disclose certain area industries and their possible impacts before finalizing potential sales?
Some folks may have thought leilani or nanawale subdivisions would have been an equal Puna investment opportunity like PPark, Kapoho, or Vacationland, until the county or states renewed geothermal expansion intentions?
If some knew in advance or were made aware that certain designated areas would be increasing geothermal industry operations instead of protecting the natural rain forest environment or family traditions. Some may have chosen to work, invest, and raise their families elsewhere. jmo
Some of Puna's Geothermal accidents or mishaps have apparently impacted folks living up to 10 miles away from the power plant.
Maybe the county geothermal relocation program has extended the relocation option to all concerned residents living around the expanding geothermal plant or industries, rather than the original one-mile radius?
