While my fellow PunaWeb Chief Naysayers of naysaying all think Tam has already been put out to pasture, I offer my opinion that he has just begun to light a fire under Puna.
First, his stance on PGV, regardless of the handful of those in Puna who are PRO Geothermal, he is making his case to the constituency he needs to get elected. To think the vast majority of those who will elect Puna's next Representative are PRO Geothermal shows a complete lack of understanding of that very constituency.
As for his stance as the Tangy Tang Tang points out about what Tam says about the size and role of government, well he is again spot on targeting the constituency he needs to get the votes. A good example, last week Hawaii County Police set up speed traps in Pahoa. Immediately the socials filled up with comments claiming "Police Corruption." Again, the vast majority of the voters Tam needs - think this way. To think otherwise, shows the ignorance of just what the constituency is.
So, what if he uses AI. It's not like he is writing an official report for UH. And excuse me Tang, but the real solar expert to hire is none other than Mr. Matthias Fripp.
In conclusion, I'd have to say Tam is playing the perfect hand to get elected. But, having said that, the only real issue I see is that same very constituency Tam appears to be pandering too, might just be swayed by more and more promises of millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars being appropriated for more studies and useless construction of a never ever to be realistically built boat launch or an alternative route from Puna to Hilo.
But then again, you never know. If Tam loses, he could try playing the "rigged" election card.
