Lava Threat Sparks Work to Seal Geothermal Plant
Workers race to cap wells at the Puna Geothermal Venture plant as lava from Kilauea advances near the site on Hawaii's Big Island. Senior Hawaii official Mike Kaleikini says crews are sealing wells to prevent toxic gases, with the plant capable of 38 megawatts and representing about a quarter of the island's daily energy needs. A nearby warehouse used for geothermal research was destroyed as lava consumes structures, bringing total losses to about 50.
