Had a interesting job on the Big Island at a geothermal plant. It uses geothermal energy to produce electrical energy. A bit controversial as some native Hawaiian groups are upset their god Pele is being used as a source for energy and thus, taken advantage of...but its also controversial as the power plant sits atop an active volcanic area and the active rift zone. Earthquakes and possible lava flows could disrupt or even destroy the plant. The plant is very stable yet in a way, very unstable.
Well, at least my toes are protected. As we got access to shoot the plant, we were made to wear these steel-toe slip ons as well as other protective gear...helmets, googles, etc. But the toe protection was a really cool thing. I'd buy them.
