My geology class at hcc in honolulu in 68 said no eruption has ever lasted over 9 years! So much they've learned on this one and at such a price! We waited 5 years for them to complete chain of crater roads after mauna ulu did it's deed, opening kalapana up as a bailout center from fern forest deluge, we wait again! Kalapana gardens was being heavily promoted at 10K for a sunny paradise, 1 acre with paved roads, almost bought one but couldn't sell our forest lot! My condolences to those who lost their homes!

Nice link.

The reason, according to the site: "Because the hazardous parts would come right back out." This about as plain as it can be put.

That article focussed on medical and nuclear waste.
The Hilo issue is about 'municipal waste'. Still, burning anything in a volcano or a garbage incinerator or a forest fire does not make it "go away" -- it simple changes its physical form and chemical properties, most often to hazardous and/or toxic elements.

The sickest (never official) remarks in Hilo have been the idea, never stated seriously (I hope!), of burning rubbish in Pu'u O'o

btw: posting this from New Zealand. Here on 3 wk visit.
Will be learning about the success of Zero Waste here.
Also, forage-based dairy.
Will do the tourist thing at the geothermal site, too.

Nice place, Kiwi land.

No throw garbage near Pele, only gin.

I want to know this about New Zealand: is the water warm?
