Yes looks like all the knowledgeble folks on this thread. I'm not knowledgeble but I'm more like the question asker. i think I speculated earlier about residual byproducts of refining gas being used for electricity. and even if oil isn't refined on the Big Island you have to think Hawaii going to be dependent on "imported oil" as long as that's what you put in the gas tank regardless of advent of alternative energy.
Also how those great chemtainer water tanks-
http://www.chemtainerofhawaii.com/
They are claimed to be made in Hawaii. Which is quite a revelation- an industrial product manufactured in Hawaii?? i wonder if this product wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for other byproducts of the oil refinery on oahu?
Also i'm confused about something I read about PGV isn't producing their full capacity of electricity because helco doesn't need it??
Another thing- PGV seems to have the proven technology for geothermal. helco sifting thru other newer geothermal technology bidders- any evidence these newer technologies work? gotta ask the hard questions.
