My apologize Rob, you did say the dead Ohia trees were on your farm not yard. You also thought they were dying from the Strawberry Guava not fern choking them out.
Kenny, Mahalo for your wonderful question.
If the Ohia tree only lives in Hawaii then why not make it a priority to protect the Ohia tree?
Why put an experimental Geothermal power plant in the middle of an Ohia forest to begin with? What, No other volcanoes in the world to pull steam from.
Why not keep prior and current environment Data from the PGV area?
Why not have corresponding health studies as well if the PGV is located near any communities?
Can little frogs like the Coqui help spread the ROD or Rat LungWorm?
The county and state of Hawaii hasn't seemed to mind the invasive Coqui frogs being in Puna. I ask because The Coqui frogs are often seen around, on or in Puna water catchments as well as in the Ohia trees and living in places with slugs and rats.
HOTPE, Mike Kaleikini "PGV plant Manager", stated he had no idea how the leak in the old production well occurred or just how big it was because it was thousands of feet below the surface and simply couldn't be seen. Steam may be the goal to produce electricity but what besides water is enhancing the increase of steam?
What happens to the millions of gallons of Geothermal waste once PGV re-inject's it back into the ground, via re-injection wells?
Is the PGV's current location and production wells on an old hot spot of magma or a large magma chamber?
If steam naturally rises to the surface from this Magma resource couldn't leaked production from a well or wells also rise through the porous surface?
