Obviously Anake Emily needs to step aside. All is fair in love an politics. All embarrassments aside. Please Aunty. Enough already.
It is no secret that Greggor is the man to beat. And he will not be beaten. HPP got him locked. Geothermal is a slippery machine with many moving parts to the argument. Greggor knows how to stay safe in discussion, but I truly feel that he is certainly in tune with what is going on. Two BIG issues: Safety is one. Cheap electricity is another -- which is somewhat of a misnomer given that current contracts already sell it to HELCO for cheap. It is HELCO who turns around and sells it for 6-8 times the amount they paid for it. HELCO is a major power (pun intended)holder with great political influence in how things run in Hawaii. Remember that they are a privately held company who is indebted to the shareholders, not the customer. It is never about cheap electricity in HELCO's eyes. Now just how is Greggor going to compete against that? Answer.....verrrrrrry carefully.
