That's absurd. We don't want a nuclear reactor either; isn't that killing STEM as well?

There are several nuclear reactors in the islands that have an excellent safety record.

Yes.
But they all float.
In Pearl Harbor.
Most nuclear power generators have a slow build up to a release of contamination or a melt down. If this occurred on the USS Trinity Gadget, they would have ample time to move the ship, even by tugboat far, far out to sea.

Can we get a few to dock in Hilo bay and run some power lines to shore? Could be a nice end-run around the local knee-jerk environmentalists..

Recently we saw Senator Kai in Target - his 2 daughters on their own cell phones in the shopping wagon - 1st he went Pizza Hut and bought the 2 kids pizza and popcorn along with soda. He was extremely strict and abusive in both verbiage and physical slaps to the face of both daughters - and took away their food - soda and cell phones .
We will never vote for him after observing Senator Kai in a public setting treat his own daughters in such an abusive manner.

I have spend much time on that. Use a reactor and a replaceable module to generate juice or make fresh water, or both.

In your research, did you discover why the Navy doesn’t do this for their land based facilities at Pearl Harbor?

Slightly off topic but i would opine if two kids still fit in wagon, giving them cell phones is abuse and poor parenting. Don't expect them to_____ then get all upset.

I should have said "time and thought", not just "time". The word "research" never came out of my keyboard. Curious why you used it as if I had.

It seems like an end-around to side-step enviro-wackos, who would tie up any new development with endless wrench-throwing.

I have no idea what plans the Navy has, or will make for power and water in remote sites, or in the event terrorists take out infrastructure.

France has embraced nuclear power, and could probably be relied on to do the reactor(s). Triple-hulled vessel with nuclear-powered electrical generation/desalination plants on board that can be driven, parked and operated where/as needed as a result of expansion, mass migration, drought, infrastructure destruction etc.

Maybe I'll set up a Go Fund Me campaign!!! I'll let you know so you can made a donation!!!

You may recall a post I made during the last eruption, that FEMA could purchase some out-of-service cruise ships (there are a lot available) and use them to shelter, feed etc., those displaced by the eruptions. Somebody opined that it would never work because, in part, those displaced Puna-persons would rather sweat than be in A/C.

Obviously, these are long lead-time projects, but it all starts with an idea.

I verbally confronted a parent doing something similar at the credit union. Dragging the kid around by the earlobe. I offered to the child the opportunity to call the police on my cell.
