It's so simple, Pete. There is indeed relevance to Hawaii for fracking, as you acknowledge in your comments. Obie says "A few unfortunate mistakes were made in other states early on but those problems have been corrected," showing a complete lack of understanding of the ongoing fracking concerns nationwide. Why would anyone want the unnecessary risks of fracking in Hawaii? The only members of the public who opposed my bill were representatives of a geothermal developer, who insist they don't need to frack yet implausibly oppose the ban. My bill does not stop geothermal as you insinuate; it constrains it to the safer forms without fracking.
Re-injection wells clearly do not meet the definition. And to the point of the topic, exactly zero taxpayer money has been wasted, so that's a red-herring.
The bill is intended to protect our precious groundwater. Why do you promote fracking, Pete and Obie? Please answer this simple question.
