Living near a geothermal facility (Any downsides?)

[Ryan.]

Has the safety of living near the puna geothermal venture ever been in question? I believe I've heard a couple things in passing, but now that I'm looking at purchasing nearby I thought it might be worth asking.

I also noticed the following question on the Hawaii Association of Realtor's Real Property Disclosure Statement. (51) Is this Property located in a geothermal subzone or near a geothermal facility? In this case the answer is 'yes.'

So what are the concerns?

Thanks,
Ryan
