Mahalo for the report, pahoated. Saw a portion of it, and was disappointed in Harry Kim's dissertation, too. Did not realize he was part of the Puna Pono group, although he is not "anti geothermal" per his continued testimony. It is interesting that under his administration as Mayor, ORMAT/PGV was permitted for more geothermal development, and under his administration as Civil Defense Director, there was never a health and safety problem. Am I missing something here?
Some of these other people who testified are beyond words, and frankly, (JMO) continue the perception that Puna is full of a bunch of nutjobs. WTH was that crown wearing, feather waving, person doing? I also take great umbrage at her claim of being a "child of Pele" (not verbatim, but close). As kanaka maoli who are from the Pele lineage, it's downright insulting and frankly, disturbing.
Last, why didn't the County Council deal with this issue last session when it was raised by the Legislature? PLDC, subzone issue, etc. was all done last year.
I'm waiting for facts, and the facts alone. The rhetoric is getting old, and at this point, not even entertaining. JMO.
