We are concerned citizens who endorse sustainable energy goals, but not at the expense of the health of our children, not at the expense of our agricultural industries, and not at the expense of more pollution to our island. Pepeekeo residents reside within 1.7 miles from the plant, and this poses a significant health risk from pollutants, creates a nuisance from noise, and a safety issue from excessive traffic.

CO2 Carbon Dioxide
Thanks to Patti & Bob Ferrazi for pointing us to greenhouse gas emissions. Check out the box on the right "Coal Plant Lawsuits" and you'll see some interesting rulings about coal plants in other states requiring a permit for co2 emissions. Does anyone know about Hawaii's plans to regulate these emissions? Can someone research?

Article from Chemical & Engineering News July 2008 says that EPA must completely rewrite the Clean Air Act regulation it designed to reduce power plant pollution linked to smog and acid rain, according to a federal court ruling. The rulings could push Congress into passing pending legislation that would reduce so2, nox, and mercury, and perhaps co2 carbon dioxide - from power plants.
