It's particularly good to see direct involvment of native Hawaiian organizations. http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/oct2011/2011-10-28-091.html Following is an excerpt. "This project represents one of the most collaborative approaches to achieve lower cost energy for the people of Kauai, saving our coop members just over $26 million," said David Bissel, president and chief executive of KIUC. "The partnership with the Hawaiian homestead community in Anahola is a win-win for everyone on Kauai." "This is breaking new ground on so many levels," Danner said. "The Commission's action facilitates one of the largest renewable energy projects in the state, developed by our utility coop and Native Hawaiians, with the potential to bring over $50 million in economic impact to the island and strengthening the Hawaiian Home Land Trust to create homesteading opportunities."
