Maybe sometimes as we try to make life easier for man and woman kind. We forget our efforts may make LIFE harder or impossible for others?. I don't think Darwin said this but he might have wanted to utilize the land, air, and water differently in the future?. I have not seen anyone tear down a geothermal plant and deem it ready to grow anything yet?. Time is on our side until we know other wise, so why not let other places be the ginnie-pigs. We may not be getting or asking for a rail system here yet, but the state certainly has made tourism the main economy?. So the quicker we get off this Gmo and Geothermal crap that nobody wants to visit or see the better. Puna is looking like it wants to sell out to industrialization, and we are in need of a face lift. ANY ideas??? Beaches, snorkeling areas, hikes, Bike Trails, Deep Fishing, walk and pick gardens and farms. More Bed and breakfast places, a nice resort with jobs on some 400 acres in poihiki with daily surf lessons. I know I am getting carried away so I will stop and ask Why not? Why Gmo? Why geothermal here. When technology finds steam elsewhere? No cane, no Buds, no tourism, no railroad, but we get the pesticides, fumagations, papaya and geothermal wastes. Oh and let's not forget we have the one program that really does work and serve needing folks out here and that's Welfare.. Forever?? P.s papaya and geo waste is what we are getting not the fruits or lower rates. Just so I am clear. Please chime in with your views I can take the blows as it forces me to stay OPEN minded myself. 20 cents a pound or kilowatt for gmo and geo OR $3.00 to bike or swim should be the people's choice that lives HERE.
