    Also in the area is a major geothermal power plant and the big carbon capture plant which gets it power from it. Research and market development could be seriously set back if it’s damaged.

      big carbon capture plant

      I didn’t realize they had one, or even cared that much about it (since their power sources are something like 99.9x carbon free). I knew there was a research site that was doing deep drilling on the peninsula, but not the purpose.

        Makes sense to do the power hungry and experimental research into carbon reduction next to a cheap and carbon free energy source though
