With the ongoing environmental concerns and the continuing incre <br />the Commission approve Hu Honua BioenergyÓs request. Thank you <br />consideration <br />KERN: Thank you very much. Any questions for the testifier? S <br />much. Jeno Enocercio, <br />ENOCENCIO: ItÓs Jeno Enocencio. <br />KERN: Jeno Enocencio, right on. Thanks. <br />ENOCENCIO: Jen Enocencio from Kalalau Ranch and Victory Gardens located just about <br />Wainaku area, past Dodo Mortuary. That's the address, right at the curve bridge. We teach kids <br />about agriculture, animal science and aquaculture; and these are <br />to 12. WeÓve even got preschoolers come up feed the animals and <br />about farming. ItÓs an ahupuaÒa system of living. And what we do is also integrate 100 years of <br />sugar plantation era, namely contributions from the Japanese, Fi <br />haoles. Everybody contributed something about how to survive in <br />This is the stuff we teach. And when learning about the, and I'm also three generations of, third <br />generation of sugar planters, processors, harvesters, truckers, <br />and also processing of the sugar, wastewater management, polluti <br />plant. So weÓve been in all that, in all the different mills th <br />know, I come from that generation, local generation. <br /> <br />And one of the things that really got to me was when the power p <br />industry went down. That was a sad time for my family because o <br />earth. And that's what Hu Honua is about, from the earth. When you think about that and about <br />all the abundance of trees that we have over here, especially eu <br />a natural resource, a renewable resource, to be able to put into <br />that finite resource of petroleum-based products and oil, okay, <br />and things as such. We can use this renewable energy, and be ab <br />and efficient energy, not only for ourselves but maybe one of th <br />hungry people like in Honolulu who is looking for all of this en <br /> <br />In the meantime, what we do stress at our farm and our ranch is <br />lesson plan to want to do, their kids to learn about hands-on, t <br />When they come to our ranch we teach them about hands-on applica <br />over here with energy, renewable energy, and plants such as biom <br />will be able to learn and be able to understand how technology, <br />and mathematics works, and how it can apply to everyday life. T <br />ideas and concepts just by this generator being put to use for t <br />is, for the public good. Because in essence this is the start, <br />good. Geothermal is good. Thermal energy as far as from the oc <br />all good. But we don't have that now. What we do have is that <br />9 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
