No Coastal Trees for Hu Honua...

The largest landowner on the Hamakua Coast, Kamehameha Schools, has thousands of acres of eucalyptus trees which Hu Honua had long targeted as its supply of biomass to fuel the mothballed power plant at Pepeekeo Point.  However, Kamehameha Schools and other large Hawaiian landowners have formed Hawaii Bioenergy LLC to capitalize on our state's need for ethanol - their plan is to manufacture ethanol using local timber resources.  So, where will Hu Honua locate a source of wood to supply its biomass power plant?
