I understand that PGV is talking about possibly expanding their plant, considering it has the capacity to cover the whole island! But why go through what will be an uphill fight for them, when as pointed out the rates will stay the same! Only reliability will improve as geothermal is the only reliable link in the whole power chain! Next step, PGV will sell the plant to a brokerage fund, who won't take any crap from the CC, HELCO or anyone else! We'll get the windfall mabe, but not a cent more, ever!
Any enterprise tied to oil price right now is sitting fat! It makes me understand how a PHD in economics wants to get in on the party! Good economist thinking, right down to kill any competition (trash incinerator) to plenty of slightly polluted compost which won't be good on any food crops, or even public areas, but will work great on fuel crops (just vaccinate the workers)!
Where I like solar, used properly, Wood Gas is the way to go! It's being more and more recognized as a functional fuel, and done right is very clean burning! We're the most expensive in the country, yet we have all the resourses imaginable for virtually free power! Leadership Mabe?
