Hawaii Deserves Better Than Industrial Wind Power from 'Big Wind'

Castle & Cooke

The people of Lana’i, like so many other residents of Hawaii, understand and support the urgent need to develop alternative green energy to supply our collective energy needs and ensure that we preserve our way of life, our extraordinary natural resources and our economic futures.

Hawaii has shown great leadership in exploring alternative energy options such as solar, geothermal, wave, ocean thermal conversion technology (OTEC) and of course wind energy. Many people, in Hawaii and on the mainland, increasingly view wind as the go-to solution for green energy needs, most of them unaware of big wind’s burgeoning history of failed promise — whether in the energy it actually produces, corporate follow through of promises to the communities most affected by the industrial wind facilities, or harm to wildlife and human health.
