Renewable and sustainable energies can bring more to Hawaii than lower monthly electric bills. Investing (with investment of land and money) in these technologies can make Hawaii itself more sustainable and create new jobs. Hawaii has enough renewable and sustainable energies that if the technology is perfected, Hawaii could be one of the largest exporters of wind, sun or bio energy in the world. If that were to happen, imagine the opportunity to the people of Hawaii and what a relief it would be to finally have the cost of living here decrease. And if economic growth, lower bills and doing the right thing for the planet aren't enough...check out the model that Alaska uses which "pays" its citizens because oil companies use the land there.

Maybe food crops should get highest priority?
