Beachboy, at what cost? This is another scam like Kohala Taskforce, the original NELHA faciity (OTEC), and geothermal, except geothermal was made functional by an independent operator!
This "Island" is an unproven unit, and 2.7mw, (mabe) is all w're hoping to gain? While geothermal is producing 30mw and is ready to expand further They are our ONLY hope to drop rates, the rest is all going to fatten the monopoly over all of us!
Hawaii developed OTEC, is this Island using our liscensed Technology? Why is UH not continuing their Electric Production promise at NELHA!
Otherwise mabe an H-power facility would work, better than in Hilo!
Make UH return to NELHA and rejuvinate the original system or lease it to the highest bidder, and let an independent show them how!
