The key word is "rationally". There really is little rational opposition. You will have the standard flock of weirdoes who opposes it on everything from health, environment, fiscal, and they also will oppose it because it's a secret military program to cross breed aliens with Hawaiians to create a race of super warriors to battle the Antriliians from Xyclqkgard 6. Personally I have no problem with those people except at Thanksgiving when they buy up the last package of aluminum foil for their head protectors and our turkey legs get burnt as a result. Ignore them, since no matter what you say factual and authoritative, they live in their own fantasy world.

Now, one thing that hasn't gotten much press is the source material for the plant. In looking over their documents, I see a good amount of source material being currently non-recyclable waste. I’m talking a lot of products that normally is land filled because there is no recyclable market. Many of these are also the types of products that raise environmental and health eyebrows when used in WTE incinerators. But in this case the "gases" are part of the final fuel and not just the heat.

Where a WTE incinerator produces heat from the source material, this project used the heat, gases, liquefied separation, and even the non consumed biomass. And it's using material Hawaii currently has no market for and has to landfill. These are materials we don’t want in the landfill. Were not talking your typical recyclable metals, glass, plastics and papers, were talking wood construction debris, used diapers, tires, cross contaminated papers, and of course vegetation beyond the composting ability.

There are questions that still needs to be answered and issues to explore, but the majority that opposes this would oppose a Girl Scout selling cookies in front of a store for the exact same reasons. Caulk it up to the anal experiments conducted on them when abducted by the green men in their spaceship.
