gypsy, go cut an albizia down..or pull up a dozen Miconia plants... help your pseudopristine Puna..
geothermal.. hot earth heating ground water to make steam to turn turbines to make electricity... and it can 'work' for hundreds/thousands of yrs... win win win win win
funny how not many balk in Geyserville NorCal and Iceland where they do this too... in Sonoma County, they actually pipe Santa Rosa's wastewater many miles up to the geysers as the 'groundwater source' for the steam... they been doing this for many many yrs
Iceland is easy, it has the same amount of people as Bakersfield CA, but is as big as 10 Big Islands. so its easy to find a rural place... they dont have trees or people there, and its cold as F~... see below aloha
ps this is all the people in Iceland in this video, and all the trees too...

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
