STORY SUMMARY

HILO (BIVN) - Cory Harden called the Puna geothermal power plant a "dragon in the backyard that can wake up at any time," following recent steam releases at the Pohoiki facility.

HILO, Hawaii – Cory Harden, a member of the Sierra Club Moku Loa Group, testified at the Hawaii County Council Committee on Public Safety and Mass Transit on Tuesday, asking for an investigation into recent steam releases at Puna Geothermal Venture.

Councilwoman Margaret Wille brought forward communication 1072 on behalf of the Unified 4 Puna group in order to have a discussion with the civil defense administrator “on the status of island-wide disaster preparedness for hurricanes, tsunamis, wildfires, and lava flows.” However, much of the testimony focused on the Puna Geothermal Venture steam releases that have occurred in recent days.
