Thank you for your astute observations about electricity gypsy. While we are looking at large users of electricity, let's not forget the mega resorts on the Kona Coast. Thousands of people and every room air conditioned. Many tourists fly here in winter to escape the cold on the mainland, to visit beautiful, warm Hawaii, then stay in an ice cold air conditioned room. What is that all about? Millions of dollars of electricity used no doubt, and wasted. If the tourists wanted cold, they could just stay home.
And let's not forget the resort golf courses, wasting massive amounts of water, fertilizer, and poisonous pesticides. These are some of the most heavily sprayed lands on earth, and should, jmo, have hazardous warning signs at all entry points. Why not keep the land in a more natural state, with native plants that would not require stealing water from the local people, would not require nitrogen fertilizer that seeps into the groundwater and ocean, killing marine life, and does not require extreme use of toxic insecticides, fungicides, and other deadly substances. Why not instead return it to nature, perhaps with a nice walking trail? And if hikers wanted, they could provide balls at the trailhead for people to throw in front of them, then walk over to the ball, pick it up, and throw it again In front of them over and over, until the end of the trail. All natural, without the poison and dead fish, bleached coral and having to destroy lava, turning it into hills and bunkers and traps instead of leaving it the way it was meant to be.
