A public meeting will be held Friday night at the Pāhoa High & Intermediate School cafeteria, regarding Puna Geothermal Venture, although United States Geological Survey (USGS) scientists have already answered one set of pressing questions.
"PGV is located on the East Rift Zone because a small hydrothermal resource heated by past eruptions is found there. Prior to the 2018 eruption, the most recent LERZ eruptions in Puna were in the 1790s (Lava Tree State Monument), 1840 (Kaohe Homesteads through Nanawale Estates), 1955 (Steam vent area along hwy 130 to Halekamahina), and 1960 (Kapoho)—well before PGV started drilling."
