My oh My, Glen....
to tie it all up with coqui.... but you forgot that we will be using the steam vents & lava flows for food prep (chef Madame Pele...I do prefer my veggies gently steamed...)
One of the great things about this island is that it is one place (the only one I can think of... but I was in the sun/rain/sun all day... ) that had a larger human population before the industrial revolution than today. Of course it was hard work to keep up the population, esp. with no metal resources, but this island did support the population that worked.
Another plus? Our almost overfilled garbage dumps will look so much more like valuable resource stockpiles if the dooms day ever comes.
