Not sure, but, the way I have heard it is that crude oil comes into the islands to be refined into jet fuel on Oahu, which we all can understand the demand for that, and not really have alternatives to offer. And, that the fuel used to run our electrical generators is the waste product from making that jet fuel.
The EPA is forcing Helco to start burning diesel fuel to lessen the amount of SO2 in the air to protect the pristine air in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
