PGV Replacement

Replace the lost PGV power generation with solar and wind farms in a public/non-profit private partnership. Taking advantage of FTZs (free trade zones) exempt from trump’s environmental and solar tariffs.

Why is this important?

Tutu Pele presents us with an awesome opportunity. We need to recoup the Big Island’s 25% PGV production loss. Could your office explore state and federal support to build FTZs (free trade zone) exempt from trump’s environmental and solar tariffs. The FTZs would be dedicated to building large solar or wind farms as a public/non-profit private partnership.

Consider selling Hawaii Savings Bonds to help fund it.

Do not let HELCO/HECO be involved outside of being a contracted method of delivery of electricity.
