Keeping it Hawaii related? Schatz and Hirono helped pull the carpet from out under fellow Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu trying to pull herself out of tight race for her Senate seat from Louisiana.
That may give the Republicans one more seat in the Senate. The pipeline vote will come back up in January with a Republican majority Senate so it's only delayed the unavoidable.
One way or another, we'll continue to ship oil here to Hawaii regardless of the Keystone projects minor delay.
As per being Hawaii related, it has no impact on Hawaii except to further assist in excusing higher oil prices for everyone.
What we here in Puna should do if we want to make changes regarding oil is to focus on promoting our Geothermal potentials.
Let's discus how we here in Puna can make that happen. Our district is the hot spot for the energy resource. Aside from electricity we can also produce hydrogen gas which we can use in place of gasoline.
How do we get Hawaii near 100% reliant upon our own energy sources? If you want to change how the U.S. does things then we need to set an example here. To hell with wasting time fussing with D.C. nonsense.
I see no promotion being pushed for Hydrogen production from geothermal energy or promotion of ICE conversions to hydrogen. Bio-diesel is fine for diesel engines but serves no purpose in reducing pollution especially when used in regular gasoline engines that be run 100% clean and more efficiently on hydrogen.
How do we promote this sort of energy independence here on this island?
