Come on, Punatic land. All Ige is saying is he doesn't want to see one imported fuel replaced with another imported fuel. You have to start looking at Hawaiian Electric being an independent power producer as well as a utility. Most of the IPP are the oil burning plants. HE wants to keep them going as long as possible, switching them to natural gas could extend their operational life indefinitely. Ige is just saying he does not go along with that plan, he wants to see the petroleum base plants to phase out over time. So, things must be slow to dig a Punatic asylum conspiracy out of that.
