Not going to go into further detail or post any factual sources of factual information so as to keep the sacred sanctity of keeping all posts Puna/Hawaii specific, so if you care, research it yourself.
The real question as it relates to Hawaii, is who could possibly support this? And how will we ever recover from it?
"factual sources of factual information" is such an interesting comment, especially given the context.
