Aloha,
My name is Ashlie McGuire and I am a lifelong resident of Hawai’i, grown up on Maui but now living here on Hawai’i Island.
I watched Maui dry up for a multitude of reasons, and I’ve seen the devastating effects of the desertification of that island (Lahaina Fire.)
I deeply OPPOSE data centers on Hawai’i Island, again for a multitude of reasons but the biggest being water usage and consumption.
We need to protect and conserve our water on island as best as we can, especially in the face of an increasingly unstable climate.
Please do not approve this new data center. Mahalo
