Loading ...This is the crap that makes me angry. This story about the geothermal plant here is nothing but a fear-mongering rumor mill report from ZeroHedge.
Nobody did any fact-checking. FACT: 50,000 gallons of volatile Pentane previously at the geothermal plant were removed last week. There is NO explosion threat from the plant. It has been shut down.
An explosion at the plant would NOT generate a landslide and tsunami. The damn thing is seven miles from the shoreline.
The worst that could happen is that the geothermal plant and well would be covered by lava and destroyed… with no explosion potential. I find it interesting that the eruptions and cracks have opened to the West and to the East of the plant grounds, but the immediate area of the Geothermal Plant are unscathed by the volcano at this time. Perhaps removing all that heat from this area of the rift has hardened it against the cracking eruptions occurring now on both ends of the plant. Just my crackpot theory, but the evidence is interesting.
So don’t believe all the scare-news hype about the volcano.
