think of what a pair of FA-18’s , or a B-52 could do ....
Problem solved ; all the lave would be heading down to the ocean , where all the tourists could come and see it again .
Major tourism $$$ boon to the B.I. , as opposed to these Pele-huggers browbeating everyone into doing nothing and many properties being lost forever as a result .
PS : if you watch those Pahoa community meetings , I bet the out spoken ‘titas’ own properties lie nowhere near the upcoming inundation zone . Easy for them to act all ‘ cultural ‘ no?
Yes I am very much of the opinion that a lava diversion can and should be attempted. It seems to me though certainly I’m no expert that some well placed munitions aimed at the downhill flank of the Puu Oo crater would collapse the cone and send the lava lake as well as the source that feeds it back down the hill and into the sea.
The fact that certain people who hold to stone age animist beliefs in the Volcano goddess pele and that diversion would somehow dismay the deity is to me rubbish.
