The lava flows have covered two wells at the power plant.

Any explosions from that power plant is minimal compared to what the volcano is doing overall...

Would you happen to have seen where they say what this alleged flammable liquid is?......and what it was for?

It's also unclear if the release of hydrogen sulfide is the only dangerous scenario when magma infiltrates a geothermal well.

Local residents fear an explosive emission of deadly hydrogen sulfide and other gases should wells be ruptured.

Thanks......but that's the article I was asking about that doesn't name the flammable liquid.

Is this also a normal fossil fuel generating plant?

The vents are spewing the sulfide gas......so that isn't the liquid. There were warning signs for sulfide gas around some rift/vents when I was there in 1990 that had erupted in 1983.

Oh yeah, well they removed it, whatever it was...

Since Hawaii's Kilauea volcano began a once-in-a-century-scale eruption on May 3, authorities have shutdown the plant, removed 60,000 gallons of flammable liquid, and deactivated wells that tap into steam and gas deep in the Earth's core.

I remember watching a story weeks ago of them hauling off tankers of flammable liquid from the site.

Then they should stop mentioning it......and they should mention what it is. Makes me doubt the reports credibility.

They also never answered why it was there in the first place.

Guess my little brother sold out just in time, no wait that was the other island O'ahu, but it could have used being demolished as well. Termite ridden so badly he said the walls were ready made fire escapes as you could just run straight through them to safety. A bonus selling point considering.

Its cool to see how the lava flows in my area were laid down.

No more geothermal energy for some time, by the looks of it..

Energy in Hawaii - Wikipedia

Solar power in Hawaii - Wikipedia

The electrical grids of the Hawaiian islands are each separate and relatively small. "Overbuilding" distributed solar in some areas has led to issues such as partial duck curve, although time-of-use pricing has reduced disadvantages.

Well, @CasualBystander was right. Electrical ducks causing problems.. Only gigant powerwalls can solve

Tourism to Hawaii is down 50%. Those in the path of the lava flows are being threatened with arrest if they don't evacuate.

Its probably a good idea......so tourism is down on the big island then......can't see why.

Scientists are concerned a major eruption could be imminent due to large cracks.
