Pele's Potential

Two decades ago, Mililani Trask aggressively fought geothermal development in the Big Island's vast Puna district.

As part of the Pele Defense Fund, the attorney and sovereignty activist helped change the state's environmental impact statement law to be sensitive to the host culture.

Today, the Pele Defense Fund is defunct, but Trask is once again heavily involved with geothermal.

Now, though, she wants to develop geothermal — on the Big Island as well as Maui.
