Good job Hawai'i!

Gov. Linda Lingle says "These are not <bold>hope</bold>s or dreams or wishes; these are our specific plans that we <bold>hope</bold> to achieve."

They are not dreams, but I dream you can do it!

...is the local biofuels.  Usually, I'm all for local, but Hawaii has only a fraction of it's original ecosystems intact, and the balance of nature is very delicate on the islands.  Every valley and mountain will most likely have several species endemic to them found nowhere else, so any increase in potential cropland would not be good.

If it was just conversion of existing cropland however, that would be better.

And most of the wind energy would probably be placed along the coasts, where most of the area has already been developed by agriculture or tourism, so hopefully it won't have that much of an impact.
