Wow I remember that !! Most of the first responders died and even today, that area where the plant is located is a vast wasteland !!!
Oh wait!!
There was no destruction or deaths.
We could have the cheapest power in the Hawaiian Islands !!
Why wouldn't we want that ??
Have you driven past a wind farm or large PV farm that didn't look like an eyesore ??
When I drive past PGV I see nothing but a large derrick.They could stick artificial palm fronds on it and I would be good.
