No reason? Seriously? That's hilarious, as history shows.

With ACTUAL regulation (not imagined by HELCO etc), you may be right. But, there's none of that - it's a $$$ free-for-all, and it's disgusting to see the displays of greed cast as 'caring for our community's energy needs'. Talk to the people living next to HGV about regulation, about 'being run safely'. Geothermal applied carelessly helps no one but the upper money grubbers.

Do it RIGHT, or get the hell[co] out.

The other thing is... if you don't believe solar (for example) is the answer, then you haven't tried it. If everybody took personal responsibility for sustainable energy generation, the world would look a LOT different.
