Absolutely ironic. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor to retaliate against what they thought was US efforts to block their fair access to oil. Fast forward about 3/4 a century and the handful of survivors who are left want to block US access to energy independence. But the thing that surprises me is that I spent a week working on Ford Island and there is plenty of empty spaces to accommodate a project like this without effecting any of the monuments. In fact I would see a project like this as a fitting testament. So many wars fought over energy and when our military tries to become energy independent people protest against it.
