For over 30 years, Puna Geothermal Venture has failed as a land steward, causing environmental and health harm while ignoring community concerns. PGV should be shut down permanently, and no similar corporations should be allowed to operate anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. If we don't protect the land beneath us now, where will we stand in the future?
