HOTPE and Kalakoa, thank you for the humor and laugh.
With your implied mathematic's. Our electric producing Geothermal Power plant Uses the most underground water daily from around these parts. Something "over" 4 million gallons a day. Is this water resource being used by geothermal coming from the same water from Mauna loa or Mauna kea? With the same 14,000 feet of filtration process provided through our porous lava rock?
If so, maybe Puna could replace the current geothermal power plant with a water and bottling company or two?
The amount of local jobs that could be produced with water and bottling companies in place of the current geothermal industries, could be higher than the 1.2 jobs being created per Megawatt currently. Some 4,000,000 gallons a day of water at $3 a liter could equal $millions$, jobs, and safer communities by moving in a different direction with our precious resources. jmo
