To tell you the truth...I'm more worried about the economic consequences to Hawaii than a possible meltdown!
$5.00 gas is just around the corner folks in Hawaii. It's $4.07 in downtown Hilo this morning. It's been going up about 2 cents every day average...
It was $4.50 a gallon in Hilo two years ago when Americans stopped taking vacations to Hawaii which sent the Hawaii economy into a tailspin. Our only saving grace back then was foreign tourists which were mostly Japanese. And they probably won't be visiting this time given the current state of affairs
