FYI: Bills being heard tomorrow in an effort to change geothermal development process, and work towards less dependency on oil. The effort to utilize state lands may assist in the effort to lower rates, which today, are the highest in the nation. (*See Star Advertiser front page article)
Here is the announcement for the hearing of HB2689/2690/2691:
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session201...02-12_.HTM
PLEASE provide testimony (you can do it online at link provided) in support of these bills by 9:00am tomorrow. The ulitmate goal (for us) is for Puna to reap more benefits (in addition to the royalties paid in order to do business in our state) as the host district for existing geothermal development, and dealing with the monopoly HECO maintains.
Other bills will be forthcoming that will assist in that effort: HB 2039 & SB 2001. A total of eleven (11) bills will be coming forth this session and thank you for the opportunity to share the information.
Time for change, Puna deserves SO much more. Just my opinion. Mahalo again.
