"Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.

In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.

USGS tweeted that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated." foxnews.com/science/2018/06/12/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-lava-boiled-away-big-islands-largest-freshwater-lake.html

    I going to patent an idea right now: Use all the plastic garbage USA dumps in the ocean to build a wall around lava to divert its flow. There will never be shortage of plastic and ocean will get clean. The only downside is all the poisonous fumes but how are you going to avoid it during a volcano anyway?

    The US does not dump plastic or garbage in the Ocean. So file your patent claims in south east Asia.
    And do a little research maybe.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

      Fine man we get the garbage from wherever. Patented ideas are country agnostic because ideas are country agnostic. Way to miss the meat for the skin.
