Good ideas, Rob.
What ties these together is resource-based economic activity.
Food, energy, and forest products, with manufacturing of goods from raw materials derived from the land and sea. The principal markets, as pointed out, are metropolitan Honolulu and visitors from off-shore (specifically eco-tourists), in addition to this island.
An economic model of the future must based on reduction of the transportation cost component.
Too far into the future? The future will get here whether we are ready for it or not. We, as a community, can take charge of our own future, or we can let it take charge of us.
