Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2013 6:40 AM 2013 HAY 13 AN 8 1'9
To: counciltestimony @co.hawaii.hi.us
Subject: Opposition to Bill 78
Aloha,
As a scientist I have no problem with geothermal implemented safely. Hawaii
needs safe reliable sustainable power generation.* However 'safely' is not
exactly what has been implemented when an industry like this is situated in a
residential area.
Visioning that this could/would be a problem is why the relocation fund was
established and was funded by industry. How many incidents have occurred
and continue to happen on a regular basis. I remember the worst one when
an improperly dug well vented for months.
If the plant was accident free for years I would understand changing this fund
but this is not the case. Please vote to oppose this bill. Your consideration on
this issue is greatly appreciated..
Lorn Douglas
* Setting an example of safe sustainable alternative power generation I run my
two homes and my two electric cars on my net-metered solar system. My
surplus power goes into the grid and our family is carbon negative. Here in
Hawaii its easy to do.
