Tomorrow the Hawai'i Tribune Herald is finally covering this story four days after the hearing.

Yes Shay I read Graham Ellis's article in the civil beat. I found it very amusing as a hysterical rant from a guilty conscious and a clear example of denial. I also found it libelous, slanderous and not on the point.
Shay, I invite you to read bill 2274.
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=2274&year=2014
SB2274, introduced by Russel Ruderman and written by Graham Ellis and couple of attorneys, was NOT about sustainable living. Bills hinge upon their language and the only thing sustainable about Bill 2274 was the title.
This bill would allow "sustainable" developers to sustainably build stores, roads, restaurants all under the guise of research with one report a year to the planning commission. There wasn't even any required testing of the soil, air, water around the research site and the phrase "geothermal resources" was amended into the same section with no buffer zones considered.
Bill 2274 was just a cover and now the covers have been ripped off revealing that it had nothing to do with sustainability. It had to do with the illegal renting of junglows and harvesting of Ohia from a protected forest on the people's land.
In an analogy just think of Graham Ellis as the emperor in the Emperor's New Clothes and we are the little kid saying "Mommy, that man is naked!" That broke the spell. And now the Emperor can't cover up cause he's hangin out, butt naked.
I am hoping tomorrows HTH will elucidate the truth.
