Puna Makai Alternate route

[oink]

James,I hope I'm reading between the lines incorrectly but what I hear you say is the following:

I do not see a PMAR as a priority. However, I want to use the PMAR process as an engine to promote my goal of village centers and my views of Puna sustainability, although this use of the PMAR process will likely substantially delay it.

A harsher interpretation of your statements could be: I don't want a PMAR as it would encourage further Hilo growth at the cost of more fossil fuels being consumed. However, I want to use the PMAR process as an engine to promote my goal of village centers and my views of Puna sustainability, knowing this use of the PMAR process delays or derails the chance of a PMAR in our lifetimes.

Or how about this one: Rob, I do not approve of the way you portray my views on this matter. Let me restate my views in a manner that is a bit more fuzzy and will likely confuse the reader as to my true intent while saying essentially the same thing.
