Where is the proof? Without it, you're just blowing smoke.
As for alternatives, that is already available: the County has a zero waste plan done in 2009.
The proposal is retrograde.
Why do they call you the Professor when you can't even look up simple data? Right, the thought of going to HECO makes you go into a rage. From the HECO website (which actually has TONS of Hawaii electricity facts, not beliefs and emotions):
http://www.heco.com/heco/Residential/Ele...ht-Company
Oahu residential right now is 35 cents per kilowatt-hour and Hawaii island is 42.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. That is about 18% less. That isn't 25% but then look at the rest of the chart. Oahu gets massively lower rates for the whole spectrum of business and industrial use. Oahu has a lot LESS solar, wind and no geothermal so far.
Back to incinerators. OK, all incinerators = BAD. Flame = BAD. Smoke = BAD. Toxins = BAD.
The oil burning electric generation plants are INCINERATORS!!! In fact, they are HUGELY TOXIC INCINERATORS. The EPA documents THOUSANDS OF TONS OF TOXIC EMISSIONS FROM THE OIL BURNING ELECTRIC PLANTS THAT ARE INCINERATORS.
And not a peep about them, ever, from the hive-brain Punatic anti-science ninnies.
