You can submit comments thru Mar 27th.

Here are Prof Mayer’s comments: https://maui-tomorrow.org/?p=2792

At this time there are no plans to export this geothermal energy off Maui. If will supply firm energy for MECO. At the moment MECO has only diesel & coal fired plants for firm energy

I live in the impacted area in Ulupalakua and am very concerned over the HUGE impact the proposed geothermal venture will have on our property, lifestyle and health.

The bottom line is that this is all for Oahu’s benefit, not ours. For this reason, I am opposing it.

I think an emphasis should be made on growth reduction in the state. Obviously Hawaii cannot sustain the amount of people living here and who want to live here in the future!
