I'm with kalakoa. Or I should say, I see kalakoa's point. In Hawaii there should be some emphasis on house-by-house solutions with the support of the state and through the encouragement of businesses that provide alternative energy (solar, etc). I would add that the outer islands should be wary of "feeding" Oahu. How many more people do they want to crowd into that little place anyway? Remember Haiti. Ten million people on an island. That's crazy.
I kinda dig the rail idea though. Most respectfully, it wouldn't go "nowhere". It would go to, from and through a densely populated area. I really love that libertarian spark in the abstract (more than I can express here), but when it comes down to reality, good public transportation will benefit the people who live in, work in and visit Honolulu. In fact, I would't mind having a nice little trolley running up Railroad here in Puna.
By the way, I wonder why they call that street "Railroad"? : )
