A Geothermal Energy Hawaii - pros vs. cons

[dragon2k]

Had an involved discussion about this at Uncle Roberts tonight and all agreed the most pressing issue right now, the most practical issue right now is the state of the grid in lower Puna. As some know, and all should know, when Helco fails to upkeep their transmission lines or the Kapoho substation goes offline, PGV is left with spinning turbines that need to vent. Helco is not motivated to fix this, but enough pressure on the PUC should bear some fruit.
