Most of you haole transplants that never seem to mentally make it over to Hawaii act just like the above, never being able to stay coherent, usually going off into psychotic bigot babble. It is just a fact of statistics that most haole transplants don't take. Nothing to take personal. Buh-bye.
The topic is a private company declining a power source contract. It was a surprise when HELCO made the selection, since it was known at the time that only the chance of a 1000 acre industrial park in south Puna would be a cost effective addition of more geothermal power. But, Ormat was the only one that could agree with a $0.12/kw-hr power provider rate. The original need and demand was on the west side. Something might have changed, not with the need and demand, but the low cost availability.
