PPA has strongly advocated solar, as well as wind, wave, and fuel cell
The "conventional wisdom" suggests that solar/wind are not a suitable "base load" source.
Current fuel cell technologies use propane or natural gas as a source.
I do not know what, if any, long range plans exist for dealing with the county's solid waste.
Only the incinerator, which project has since been shelved.
PGV is built on the 1955 east rift flows and is just as safe from lava as everyone else in the area.
East rift is cited as "too dangerous" when convenient.
it seems as if we are trading resources(water and electric)for garbage with the kona side
It also "seems" that this deal isn't formalized or subject to public review, and (to me) suggests that the east and west sides of the island are separate. Maybe they should be.
