Kaohi: Lani Wind mills need your help in opposing 200 windmills to be built on Lani Island for Oahu

Why This Is Important

Destroying one-quarter of Lana'i and 11,000 acres of Moloka'i for an incredibly expensive, tax and rate payer funded industrial wind power plant (over 200 wind turbines, each over 40 stories tall) that would supply less than 10% of O'ahu's electrical demands is the wrong solution to Hawaii's energy challenges.  Support decentralized renewable energy!

    It's time to be heard!!

    SB2785 argues that the undersea cable will reduce our energy security and provide "back-up" power for the islands.  Lana'i does not want to see its hunting lands become a storage battery for O'ahu's electricity needs.
     
    Tell the Governor and your legislators that you say "NO" on SB2785.  Better that the money for the undersea cable be spent on placing solar hot water units on 100% of O'ahu residences or photo-voltaic systems on 25% of O'ahu residences.

     

    SB2785, this year's replacement for SB367, will have its first hearing on Thursday.  Submit your comments here:
