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.
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
