Geothermal
#12
PGV is an example of UH in action. The only one of 3 multimillion dollar projects that worked. And it worked because the state backed off and let a professional corporation take it over.
Kohala task force was a huge loss,(state sponsored seed corn growing in HAWI).
OTEC, cold water from below to make electricity. Fish were more fun, and the electric generator failed because of biofouling (no maintainance), but being a state entity it quit electricy and went into fish follies.
PGV took over the entire geothermal project, and it has run almost flawlessly ever since, the money they make is set by PUC, and the company has provided a 3+million fund for contingency which the county is now trying to steal for their slush fund.
If there's anyone who shouldn't be trusted, it's the UH and State govt.
