Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano Erupts

Old new info ?

When new lava is formed and cools you are correct that the magnetite aligns itself to the magnetic north pole at that time. However, I've known about this since I was in college in the early 1980s.....and it wasn't new at that time.

This is how there is a record of magnetic pole reversals over the last 180 million years or so.....and also where the certain spot was in its paleo-latitude/longitude.

In the Hawaiian Island chain you can even see were the direction of movement of the Pacific Plate shifted prior to the formation of the current islands from Kure Atoll down to the Big Island.

When the theory of plate tectonics became accepted it made theories like the "expanding earth" and earth crust displacement.....(from the fiction movie 2012)......outdated and obsolete.

Hawaii could be self sustaining on geo thermal green energy. Like Island..

Are they ?

I've wondered before why Hawaii doesn't develop a sound thermal energy system, they're literally sitting on top of all the free energy they would ever need, they just need technology to tap into it...

Washington and certain companies dont want ?

Who is going to charge for thermal energy from lava?...Its as free as the sun's rays are for solar...

Solar energy installations aren't free if they power more than one home. So the people who run the machines that transfer geothermal energy to the home would charge. I'm not aware of geothermal/electricity transfer systems for each house hold.

The sun is free, I do not pay for the sun's rays for my solar power system...

Its free renewable energy...q8

This activity is growing and expanding, we may see a huge eruption soon...

LOCATION: Puna, Hawaii Island (Kilauea East Rift Zone)

ENERGY SOURCE: Geothermal steam and hot liquid

TECHNOLOGY: Steam turbine generators

CONTRACT CAPACITY: 38 megawatts

POWER PURCHASE TYPE: Firm and as available

DESCRIPTION: PGV is a geothermal energy conversion plant bringing steam and hot liquid up through underground wells. The hot liquid (brine) is not used for electricity at this time. The steam is directed to a turbine generator that produces electricity.

The exhaust steam from this turbine is used to vaporize (heat) an organic working fluid, which drives a second turbine, generating additional electricity. The condensed steam from the organic fluid heat exchanger is re-injected into the ground through reinjection wells along with the brine.

The electricity generated by PGV is sold to Hawaii Electric Light Company and distributed to customers.
