The Bicker Board

And yes, I'd love to see geothermal tripled or even quadrupled in size. And there are also other areas where it could be developed. However, having said that, if geothermal were to be done in any other place other than where it is right now, the grid tie in would add a whole new layer of complexity.

Where are these other areas, in your opinion?
There is no issue with grid tie in anymore than any other energy project on the island.

For starters, I think the areas identified by the Geothermal Permitted Interaction Group (PIG) are a good place to start. Humu’ula area on Maunakea and Upper Kawaihae on Kohala were identified by them. Also, this is on DHHL which could be a good thing, or a complete and total disaster. With Trask on board, maybe some logic could prevail.

Also, just adding that I don’t think, at least at this point, expecting geothermal to power the whole state via underwater cables to a main plant(s) here on the Big Island is really a feasible thing. But if geothermal is developed elsewhere the grid tie in could be a bit challenging. And yes, it could be the same with any other power generation source added, but you could build another oil/gas power plant on Banyan Drive and tie it in quite easily, but adding another geothermal plant, or even solar could raise the complexity. That’s all I’m saying. 

But also expanding geothermal power where it is already is makes any tie in complexity go to zero.

HiloJulie - hypocrisy you...

Lamed one-trick pony
brays alone, over the hill
Boxer's reward crests.

kalianna - Youʻve created quite a monster here, HOTPE. :-)

Having found new game,
red-headed step-child cries "Yo,
WTF?"

Once again you come
To argue for argue sake
have no point to make

It's the Bicker Board!"

Seems to me, you’re the one whining. Also, since I retired, I can’t bill you several hundred dollars an hour. And one would think they would realize that the little embedded links you so prolifically use really confirm and prove my entire point. 

One would think. So, here, try this link out. It spells you out to the perfect "T."

Further, I did some more digging. I found your 4th grade talent show performance video. You really rocked it!

Morals in question,
quotes season sixteen... sixteen?!?!?
No doubt now - pure evil.

Some say posts too long?
too harsh? too smart? Real question:
out of popcorn yet?

TomK, MyManao, your inability to move your bickering to this thread is tiring. Perhaps you could just use this thread for all commentary by default?

[My 2 cents]

Bumping for your convenience.

Poor Bicker Board sits
Some think should be deleted 
Does not fit their rules

Keep the Bicker Board
It may still have its uses
When others have gone

some come and some go
others lurk sulk in darkness
retribution flows
