If the evil carbon is the excuse to stop this monstrosity, I will overlook the lazy argument. There are WAY more important reasons to kill this:
How about taking 21.6 million gallons of water per day from the Hakalau aquifer to cool the turbines,
How about injecting the hot contaminated water back into the aquifer via 3 injection wells that are less than 100 feet from the edge of geologically unstable cliffs,
How about the power purchase agreement with Helco to pay 21.5-32 cents per kilowatt for 30 years compared to solar which is only 9-11.
