Relocate ‘nutballs’
So let me get this straight: The geothermal plant in Puna leaks fumes for a short period of time, and 100 Puna residents complain of “lethargy.” It’s Puna, how can they tell?
This was during a hurricane, levels on site never exceeded allowed limits, NO plant workers got ill, but some Puna residents far away got “lethargic.”
And now $750,000 of our hard-earned tax dollars will be spent to prove to these lethargic residents that there is no big health concern from the geothermal plant.
Somehow the Philippines and Iceland can do what Hawaii cannot.
These are the same folks who said radiated fruits give you cancer (don’t), that the Superferry kills whales (didn’t) that GMO papayas give you cancer (don’t).
Quite frankly, no amount of real science will shut these nutballs up.
They and their fellow travelers are in fact pagans of primitive thought, and no study will stop their madness from hurting the rest of our community.
A better solution is to pay them off to just move far away. Their delusions belong on the dust-bin of history.

Put it in space
Large Earth-based telescopes are already obsolete. The Thirty Meter Telescope, considered by some to be an utter sacrilege, when completed will stand out like a sore thumb on Mauna Kea, and could easily be replaced by a space-based constellation, be it orbital or geostationary.
All of the countries mentioned in the article have a space program, so there should not be any problems launching and maintaining a telescope constellation. All that would be needed on the ground would be data links between telescopes and ground stations.

Good transportation
This is a sincere mahalo letter to Share Ride Taxi, Hele-On Bus and to the county transportation department. I am very grateful for these sources of transportation.
There are a lot of people who make all our journeys work, and it’s their aloha and kokua that have given us all a blessing. I sincerely thank each and every one of you people who answer the phone, drive us around, and the rest who are there for many other reasons.
