plan to use more geothermal. See more below. Photo by Peter Anderson

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC PROMISES LOWER ELECTRIC BILLS WITH PUNA GEOTHERMAL VENTURE BACK ON LINE THIS YEAR. On Dec. 31, Hawaiian Electric filed its power purchase agreement with the state Public Utilities Commission to resume buying electricity from Puna Geothermal Venture. The PGV facility, in operation since 1992, shut down and was partially covered by lava during the 2018 Kīlauea eruption. The plan is to reopen PGV in the second quarter of this year, if PUC approves the agreement.

     Hawaiian Electric said the geothermal facility would "produce an additional 8 megawatts of firm, lower-cost renewable energy, further reducing bills and the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity," making PGV a 46-megawatt plant. Until PGV was shut down, Hawai‘i Island had the highest rate of renewable energy production in the state. Hawai‘i Island's renewable energy total would be close to 70 percent with the additional megawatts.
     Residential bills would drop about $7.50 a month starting in 2022, and $13 a month in 2023, based on current prices. Lower rates would come with a new contract when upgrades are completed in 2022, then run through 2052.

     The contract changes the cost paid by Hawaiian Electric to PGV to a fixed rate, no longer linked to volatile oil prices. Electricity from PGV would displace about 160 million gallons of oil over the life of the contract, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, states Hawaiian Electric.

     The utility is also applying to construct 69 Kilovolt overhead transmission lines to reconnect PGV to the grid. The application was suspended in August pending additional information on the power purchase agreement.

     All repairs, including rebuilding the transmission lines and the switching station that ties PGV into the grid, are at no cost to utility customers.

     Sharon Suzuki, president of Hawaiian Electric's Maui County and Hawai‘i Island utilities, said, "We thank our regulators for the opportunity to revisit the agreement and find solutions that will reduce customer bills. The pricing of renewables has dropped significantly in recent years. The owners of PGV recognize that and we appreciate their willingness to sit down and work with us on an amended contract that benefits customers and accelerates our transition to 100 percent renewable energy."

     Isaac Angel, chief executive of Ormat Technologies, Inc., owner of PGV, said, "We have enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Hawaiian Electric and Hawai‘i Electric Light, and are grateful for its support of geothermal power. We are proud to partner with Hawaiian Electric and enable Hawai‘i's commitment to clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As Hawai‘i continues to pursue the goal of achieving 100 percent of its electricity generation from renewable sources, PGV is an increasingly critical source of renewable energy and capacity, unaffected by volatile fossil fuel pricing, in this region."

     The PUC recently denied a motion to intervene by Tawhiri Power LLC, which sells power generated by its Kaʻū windfarm to Hawaiian Electric, reported Big Island Video News. According to PUC documents, Tawhiri stated that "if HELCO's proposed transmission project is approved, it may result in HELCO curtailing production from Tawhiri's wind farm, which 'has the potential to financially ruin' Tawhiri's investment in the windfarm." The PUC instead granted Tawhiri "participant status in lieu of intervention," reported BIVN.

     Hawaiʻi Department of Health requested a Wednesday, Jan. 22 deadline to make a decision on whether an environmental review is required. Puna Pono Alliance and other community members, reported BIVN, "are demanding further environmental review as a condition precedent to PGV's request for an air pollution permit renewal." Puna Pono argues that the Environmental Impact Statement produced in 1987 is not valid, following the 2018 eruption, "because the present situation has changed substantively from that addressed by the 1987 EIS in many matters that may have a significant effect," reported BIVN.

     Pacific Business News reported that, after PGV was shut down, Hamakua Energy facility had to take on the demand load, going from a 15 percent capacity plant to a 75-to-80 percent capacity plant overnight. The Hamakua plant is an asset of Pacific Current, a tier-one subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, reported PBN, that "invests in renewables, transportation electrification and clean water, energy, and agriculture. In late October, the Pacific Current signed a contract with Pacific Biodiesel, to add biofuel to the fuel mix at the Hamakua plant, and reduce the intake of Naphtha fuels."

PASS THE NO MORE PRESIDENTIAL WARS RESOLUTION, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard urges Congress, following the U.S. airstrike Friday that killed Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani. The resolution would "restore Constitutional balance and ensure Congress fulfills its responsibility to determine whether or not to declare war," states Gabbard.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

     Introduced in May by Gabbard, the resolution would allow the House to charge the president with impeachable "high crimes and misdemeanors" if the president initiates wars without prior congressional declarations. The resolution also prohibits the president from "making the United States a co-belligerent in an ongoing war" without a congressional declaration.

     On social media, Gabbard said, "We need to get American forces out of Iraq and Syria now. How many more American lives, how many more trillions of dollars will be wasted before we exit? It could be now, or it could be 10 or 20 years from now, but there is no American victory."

     She said neocons are "praising Trump actions against Iran in Iraq," but that those actions are "opposite of what many Trump voters voted for." Gabbard called the attack a "fundamental violation of the Constitution. Trump's action will drag us deeper into war with Iran that will be far more costly and devastating than the wars in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. We must get our troops out of Iraq and Syria now."

     Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force, "was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region," according the Department of Defense. DOD also stated Soleimani approved attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.

     Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said a "harsh retaliation is waiting" for the U.S. Khamenei called Soleimani "the international face of resistance," and declared three days of public mourning for the general's death.

     Hessameddin Ashena, an adviser to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, said, "Trump, through his gamble, has dragged the U.S. into the most dangerous situation in the region. Whoever put his foot beyond the red line should be ready to face its consequences."

     Iranian state television, in a commentary, said the action is "the biggest miscalculation by the U.S." since World War II. "The people of the region will no longer allow Americans to stay."

direction of Pres. Donald Trump.

     The airstrike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, and five others, including the PMF's airport protocol officer, Mohammed Reda, Iraqi officials said.

     Trump tweeted, "General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more... but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of protesters killed in Iran itself.

     "While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago! The United States has paid Iraq Billions of Dollars a year, for many years. That is on top of all else we have done for them. The people of Iraq don't want to be dominated & controlled by Iran, but ultimately, that is their choice. Over the last 15 years, Iran has gained more and more control over Iraq, and the people of Iraq are not happy with that. It will never end well!"

Protesters against a possible war with Iran, outside the White House, posted on social media by Sen. Brian Schatz.

"ANOTHER, EVEN MORE CATASTROPHIC WAR" is possible, said Sen. Brian Schatz, after U.S. airstrikes killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani on Friday. Schatz tweeted, "The neocons are back on television with their magical thinking, their moral hectoring, and their amnesia about Iraq. They could very well get us into another, even more catastrophic war. They have lied about almost everything. There is no reason to suddenly give them the benefit of the doubt because they took a precipitous military action. Instead, our deepest skepticism, our toughest oversight, our most probing questions, must come now.

     "Lotta experts saying this is going to work out fine. And by experts, I mean people who were aggressively wrong over the last twenty years."

     Schatz also remarked, "Young people are going to have to vote in record numbers in order to put this madness to an end. Today is a good reminder that there is a real difference between the two major political parties and that a vote for a third party candidate is a vote for Donald Trump."
