Tam Hunt - PGV Statement

[MyManao]

Hawaiʻi can be a model for the world

Or, more precisely, da pakalolo is good.

[Punatang]

Edge you seem very excited about Munger, rasins, turds, etc.  Thanks for posting that - again.  Can you please clarify how you feel your oft repeated turd analogy in connection with the 1990 dot com bust, relates to Puna and our upcoming election?  Is there a Japan connection?  

Explosive diahrea has reached Hawaii.  Is that it?  https://mauinow.com/2026/07/16/travel-re...ai%CA%BBi/

Maybe Tam can break off a thin slice for you, MyMan!

Can you please clarify how you feel your oft repeated… relates to Puna and our upcoming election?

I’ll be glad to.  A candidate for political office in Puna can have some, even many good ideas.  But if combined with proposals that have negative consequences the overall effect can be detrimental to their constituents.

Charlie Munger was talking about business and finances, but his comment seemed entirely appropriate and precisely described the dotcom frenzy and its ultimate consequences.  I thought his quote also applies to at least one candidate for political office representing Puna.  Probably more.  

It’s a way of highlighting the bad and ugly lurking within the good.

Hawaiʻi can be a model for the world

Or, more precisely, after all the haoles have left, and the islands are once again a Hawaiian Kingdom, Hawaiʻi can be a model for the world..

Face it brother 'tang, haole's brains are a bad, a horrible, example of human potential. Literally, our wiring is defective. Our neural paths are so limited there is no way we could ever be held up as the best example of the human mind. And the sooner we are relegated to some heap of past transgressions of evolution the better for our species' chances of survival... and hoped for growth into our rightful place amongst the cosmos.

It has always escaped me when people make statements that are the analogy of saying that if a black man robs a store, all black men rob stores.

As Donnie Osmond once exclaimed, "One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl!"

Is self-hating victim mentality, racism, and monarchy a model for the world?  Better than our cultural melting pot, equality, and democracy?

Have you read Hawaiian history before the 1800’s?  One bloodbath after another.  The islands were “united” by accepting modern technology from the haole visitors so one chief could wreak havoc on chiefs across his own island, then the rest of the chain.  What would have happened if he hadn’t had access to haole guns and cannons?  Maybe the same? Maybe different?  We’ll never know.  But there is a possibility interisland warfare could still be taking place as it had a thousand year history prior to western contact.

Another example of the human mind that you might consider.

Reminds me of George Carlin's take on who we kill:

[leilanidude]

Quite the contradiction from the draft statement listed on page 1 of this thread and the post Tam has made on medium:

▪ No further expansion, and no new drilling in Lava Zone 1. Beyond the repower regulators have already approved, new generation on this island should be solar, wind, and storage — cheaper, safer, cleaner, and not sitting on an active rift zone.
▪ Stop spending public money to prove the resource. $15 million requested for exploration on DHHL lands, and $40–50 million in proposed test drilling, are dollars that could go to Hawaiian homestead allocations, roads, and classrooms.

Energy and resilience. Hawaiʻi should not be importing 90+ percent of its energy from a 2,500-mile fossil-fuel supply line that runs through the Strait of Hormuz. We should be building distributed, networked, locally owned renewable energy on every scale we can — rooftop solar, community solar, geothermal at PGV, EV charging, microgrids, virtual power plants. This is left libertarianism made physical. Power, generated and controlled by the people who use it.

I suspected an incorrect statement above, from Tam, on where Hawaii gets its' gas, diesel and oil.

"Hawaii imports over 80% of its energy as crude oil, which is processed at the state's sole operational refinery—the Par Hawaii facility in Kapolei, Oahu. This crude comes primarily from Argentina, Libya, Nigeria, Brazil, Guyana, and Alaska. The refinery processes these imports into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel."

To Tam's point, and what was not mentioned by your quote above, but is in the link you provided, is that Hawaii imports a significant amount of already refined fuels, mostly jet fuel for both commercial and military use, from South Korea, Libya, and Argentina, most from South Korea as was also mentioned elsewhere on this thread.

Guess which Strait the crude that South Korea uses to make Hawaii's jet fuel imports goes through?
