I disagree regarding the quality of H-Power's emissions and waste. H-Power has minimal testing. They only test for those items they are licensed to dispose of to determine if it exceeds minimum safe levels.
A prime example was the PCB burning.
-PCB tainted material was sent to H-Power.
-The workers weren't aware that they were exposed to PCBs.
-The tainted material was burned in the incinerator.
-They did no testing for PCB emissions.
-The community wasn't warned of potential PCB emissions.
-H-Power, workers, community, and anyone breathing air had no idea they were exposed to PCB emissions.
To this day, had the violator not voluntarily informed the EPA that they accidentally sent the material to H-Power, you, I, everyone would never have known!
Now the word is that hazardous or toxic material from Pearl, Schofield & Hickam were routinely disposed of at H-Power with not so much as one single concern being raise from H-Power.
H-Powers operation would be illegal on the mainland because of the lack of ability to know within reason what the heck is going up in flames. But it seems that Hawaii is more concern about the landfill and a few kilowatts than they are about the citizens. Funny still is the citizens think this is some form of blessing to them. Maybe Hawaii is that third world country some say it is. I'm sure the people of Bopal thought Dow was good for them.
