Three consistent points to make:
- The DOE should identify lands to exclude from industrial/utility-scale wind proposals, due to the disproportionate impact of scale on limited land mass and rural lifestyles.
- The DOE should identify lands to exclude from industrial/utility-scale proposals that contain Native Hawaiian cultural sites, historic value, significant scenic view planes, or threatened/endangered species.
- The DOE’s focus should be on making each island energy independent. Coupled with energy efficiency measures, each island has sufficient renewable resources to eliminate the need for an unnecessary undersea cable.
