In its report, the Geothermal Working Group estimates Hawai’i Island’s geothermal resources have the capacity to produce between 500 MW and 700 MW of electrical power. “On this island we spend over a billion dollars every year to import oil for our energy needs here on the island,” said Wallace Ishibashi, co-chair of the Geothermal Working Group. “That money can stay right here to build a better community.” Please read more from:  http://cleantechnica.com/2012/01/05/hawaii-inches-toward-100-renewable-energy-geothermal-resources-2… […]

The local electric company is a for profit company which hasn’t missed a dividend in 50+ quarters. Do you really think that their interested in heiping the people they serve instead of helping themselves. Bring on the bloombox and the e-cat home units if I’m going to pay .45 kwh (highest in the country) I might as well do it upfront. Seventy cents is a joke?

Whats a 30MW geothermal plant cost? Hawaii should have been converted to geothermal in the 60’s. Another example of why, the fed government should break up power generation from distribution. And any manager in one can’t own stock in the other. Or in the case at Hawaii should. Then the distribution company has no vested interest in keep buying costly oil generated going. Then to speed up building the Geothermal plants, put a big on the fuel oil coming into Hawaii (carbon tax), give half back to citizens of Hawaii and use other half speed up build geothermal and start installing EV charge stations.

Once the 3rd plant comes on line, add the tax to gas and import of gas/diesel cars/trucks. With these funds to give breaks on EV cars/trucks. Hawaii could kick the oil habit before 2020.

Yes savings are savings, but with the resources in Hawaii there could be many more savings for these people.

Woopee! You must be kidding. Electricity is controlled by a monopoly in Hawaii and it has fought renewable energy forever. They have put artificial limits on geothermal development from the beginning by capping the rate for buying power and holding the maximum at 20%. There is vast potential here for geothermal but the government is controlled by the monopolies.
