Ask a gynecologist, I mean a geologist.

A little lava should increase the steam pressure - even MORE geothermal power available!
Thanks Pele!
Ironic at the least. Maybe a bit too much geothermal energy?
Is there any reason not to believe the worst is yet to come? This may be just the beginning.
Clearly Trump’s fault
The next Fukushima. Building such on top of a volcano is the same as on a fault line. What could possibly go wrong?
I’m thinking that. If a lot of water gets into the magma chamber there could be trouble.
As far as I know Hawaii has no nuclear power plants.
They didn’t have to put a geothermal plant on a volcano.
All you have to do is drill down a little bit and it’s millions of degrees down there.
Al Gore said so.
/Sarcasm.
How much is the carbon tax for all this and who will pay it?
Unanswered question (since it doesn’t fit the agenda). Did the geothermal drilling trigger the eruption?
Lava flowing into a geothermal well? Isn’t that “renewable energy” ?

....”On Sunday, the volcano produced an ash column that reached 10,000 feet high (3 km). “Additional explosive events that could produce minor amounts of ashfall downwind are possible at any time,” wrote the USGS. “Volcanic gas emissions at the summit remain high.”.......
This volcano has already surpassed what they called it would only do ...
Are you implying that the melting of non-radioactive parts of a non-nuclear power plant will become a widespread threat to people and the environment?
Or are you asserting that it is unwise to build anything near ANY fault line, and a billion+ people worldwide need to relocate their homes and businesses? Japan, Indonesia, the entire Pacific coastline, etc...
That map shows that people cause earthquakes. Likely due to all the little micro pounding of their constant foot steps.
BREAKING More than 150 M2.5+ earthquakes in Hawaii in the last 24 hours. 3-pointers keep coming in.
3.6 Earthquake!, in Big Island, Hawaii on 28 May 2018
Two new fissures 24 & 25, have formed in the area, feeding new lava flows that destroy additional portions of the central part of Leilani Estates.
Sheesh. No. Earthquakes triggered it.
“Is there any reason not to believe the worst is yet to come? This may be just the beginning.”
Maybe 10-20 years of it? Maybe the hot spot is moving on.
