From Marti:
It was a surprise to me that there are still geothermal speculators on the Big Island. I thought the community ran them out of town long ago. And for good reason, too, according to this story.

Super offensive! And they did it more than once! Do they have a permit for this sort of thing?

Scientists disclose 2005 drill into Big Isle magma chamber

“A geothermal power company drilling a mile and a half deep on the Big Island of Hawai’i has for the first time encountered an undisturbed chamber of magma, or molten rock, scientists reported this week.

Before the discovery, which was made in 2005, the only access to magma had been on the Earth’s surface in the form of lava from volcanoes.”
