Would Puna Geothermal Expand?

[Beachboy]

Kathy H, if geothermal isn't the answer, then what is? Helco depends on people like you! Isn't it obvious that Hawaii needs to look to another source for it's energy? But this is a privately owned company,right? Their concerns is to it's investors, not the community. I'd also wage that HECO's technology is a bit dated. Burning oil to create energy at today's oil prices doesn't make sense to me. Yet HELCO will keep running it's op the same way until enough of us apathetic,lethargic, people to do something, or say something together in unison.
I truly understand your concerns KathyH, but this is 2008, not 1978! Technology is advancing at light speed. I truly believe Geothermal is our only answer right now to cheap affordable energy. The word or phrase of the day folks is "free enterprise". Do you think HELCO a privately owned company would sit back and allow something like a Geothermal Plant to be constructed in Puna? No, it depends on people to spread old outdated lies/info about Geothermal energy. People then pick up the ball and run with it,even though the info is bogus! Same thing is happening to our "homeboy" B. Obama. A quarter of this country still thinks he's muslim![:0]

KathyH, if an entire country like Iceland can switch over to geothermal energy...safely then why can't Puna? It's time we stop letting companies like HELCO how to run our lives! The technology HELCO is using is so outdated. Yet they aren't gonna upgrade their technology enough to help the masses.

HELCO has this island by the "short hairs" for way to long!!! It's time to change that folks! Let's move forward not backwards people!
