"Is there *nowhere* the haole won't tread?!!"
And the biggest haole, Uncle Sam, laughs at this so called "goddess" Pele, and pisses into the ocean on a funky deep sea wave machine.
Think a telescope on the mountain is bad? Nuke is the way to go! Right on the slopes of Mauna Kea!

The point, of course, is that no technology can escape protest. But we definitely need to push forward. The new safe nuclear designs are amazing, and a great complement to other clean energy sources.
Imagine if all the money spent on studies and housing subsidies and homeless grants were instead spent on actually building clean energy facilities and pop-up off-grid cabins like the ones Rob sells. We could have $0.10/kWh electricity and house everyone.

Right on randomq and Punatang!
Thought to ponder:
On the however many unsold 500k plus homes built in HPP, NONE of them have anything solar about them. Not even hot water. Most of them show 50-60 gallon electric hot water heaters.
I am sure I’m stepping into a hornet’s nest with this, but clearly dealing with climate change in the next decade is of paramount importance to all. Having said that, if Hawaii thinks electing a brain damaged former wrestler to the County Council, all the way up to electing a convicted felon to sit in the Oval, we will accelerate ourselves to the point of no return virtually overnight.
Still shopping at Tractor Supply?
Maybe rethink?

... except those with mental health and drug issues who donʻt want to be housed, which is the bulk of the problem.
Certainty will be the death of us.

randomq - No need to panic, there's great future in plastics: reproduction's fall.
Looks to be the plan
for all air, water, food, flesh.
Plastic balls bounce back?
HiloGhoulie: ... no answer but no - no EV, no LNG, no solar - blame lady in plane ...
Plane lady complains,
can't understand science, math,
builds strawman instead.
Will try again slow.
But it's not real hard to grok.
Been said sixty years.
Wind, solar, waves, good.
Geothermal fine, where can.
All fossil fuels bad.
Renew'bles amaze.
Create more power than take,
few human things do.
But all tech bound by
supplies, physics. Power plants
still don't grow on trees.
Direct air capture,
Only planned for the last ten
percent emissions.
Try RTFA.
Try learn some thing, do more things.
Try less blah, blah, blah.
But when next fire, flood,
hurricane, deaths, plane lady
says "where to off next?"
leilanidude: vacation would help - some folks permanent need done - plane lady ironyak
Vay-cay is constrained,
carbon budget. Punaweb,
has stay-cation deal? ;)

A 21st century Kalaupapa? With shelter, with food. For the libertarian style unhoused who prefer to live by their own rules? They may also learn that they are not a rock, not an island, they have always needed a lot of other people while they imagined they lived by their own rules.

No doubt many don't want to follow rules and pay bills, but even in a crazed or inebriated stupor I suspect they might want shelter from the rain or a toilet to pray to.
Maybe we can just build them in a convenient area, and let the homeless *think* they are squatting in them? Threaten to sweep the area occasionally but never follow through?

Any suggestions as to how to deal with this problem?
Politically? Evangelically? Law Enforcement? Medically?
At any event, what do you think about this?
