A carbon neutral big island?

[JWFITZ]

Good point, and certainly something I'd love to see, I'm simply concerned we're way behind the curve here and Hawaii is pretty broke in terms of a tax base for the building of sensible infrastructure--and with the hit the economy is taking with a sliding dollar and rising oil--that's unlikely to change any time soon.

But, that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. I simply fear the humanitarian costs. There are going to be a lot of people who suffer through this transition and I wish that could be averted.
