Hydrogen sulfate? That would be H2SO4. Also known as sulfuric acid.

Hydrogen sulfide.

Idiot repoter.

“geothermal power”

Eco-nazis claim earthquake risks for fracking.

So, I guess these eruptions were triggered by the geothermal wells.

[freedumb2003]

Nature is taking over The Big Island.

I suspect it is lost to humans.

I also fear there will be a massive eruption very soon. I do not wish this (I was there about 2 years ago and found it to be delightful even outside the helicopter ride over the lava floes). But I predict this.

Hydrogen Sulfide.....but don't let chemistry get in the way of crappy journalism...

[ClearCase_guy]

They should pass a law that Geothermal plants should not be allowed anywhere near global hotspots. If it saves one life ...

I’ve bicycled by this plant numerous times. It’s in the Leilani neighborhood and since day one it’s probably been shut down, protected, and anything of danger removed or turned off whatever.

The article is typical Fake News, sensational journalism.

Who was the genius that decided to build the plant there?

[C210N]

Who let the lava in the plant in the first place?

Was it delivering candygrams?

[Truth29]

Why are the gasses that would be released from the geothermal wells be any worse than the gasses released from the crater or the erupting fissures?

Here, CNN has a live stream going. Had it up all night on one of my computers. Incredible. I hear chickens in the background--wonder if they have a lava-baked chicken recipe ready yet?

I think they are also using isobutane (or maybe isopentane) as a working fluid. That will be exciting if a several thousand gallon tank of that has a BLEVE...

Nature’s God continues to make a mockery of puny man, and we still think WE are gods. Fukishima. Hawaii. On and on. Yet so many unquestioningly accept the arrogant “man made global warming” absurdity. Will we ever learn?

[Zathras]

I don’t know why but the first thought that came into my mind was:
“Candygram”

You build a geo thermal plant to catch heat from the earth.

It seems to me that sometimes you get a little more than you bargained for.

I would hate to be the chief geo-engineer who placed that puppy.

[ETL]

Here’s a link to a terrific, highly informative documentary detailing the history of Hawaii’s volcanoes. It’s a top notch doct. You will almost certainly learn a bunch of things you didn’t know previously. I would consider it required viewing for anyone wanting to know the story of Hawaii’s volcanoes.

I hate when lava melts my geothermal plant.

[SandRat]

What hi god is so angry?

[Ozark Tom]

Organic working fluid pentane?
