High carbon, 5G connected hippies - - want to stop another geothermal plant. Burning Man, which brings 70,000-80,000 people to the middle of nowhere in gas powered vehicles, where they set up high voltage bands with blazing lights and decibel busting amplifiers, as well as the temporary city that's created while the event takes place - - wants to stop a geothermal plant. After watching the Leilani residents who claimed Pele would go after PGV, only to discover she came for them, perhaps Pele like other Hawaiians might consider a vacation in Nevada?
Perhaps geothermal isn't perfect, but isn't the real question whether it's better than coal or nuclear, or whatever petroleum byproduct we import and burn in Hilo?
Burning Man, which owns or operates over 4,000 acres in the area and attracts 70,000 people to the region each year for its famed festival, said BLM’s greenlight for Ormat to build 19 geothermal drilling exploration wells and build 2.8 miles of access roads arbitrarily failed to consider the bigger picture. If viable resources are found, it will lead to a power plant being built,
Ormat is a leading developer in the field, and already runs several geothermal plants in Nevada, California, Oregon, Hawaii and elsewhere.
