THE STATUS OF ROOFTOP SOLAR IN HAWAI`I is the topic of a story in The Guardian, reporter Sophie Cocke announced in Civil Beat. Writer Eria Gies examined the booming industry that “nearly went bust” in 2013.
      “Because rooftop solar penetration has moved so rapidly, Hawai`i’s utilities are now grappling with both technical and economic challenges that mainland utilities have yet to fully face,” Gies said. “How Hawai`i surmounts these hurdles could help other utilities sidestep barriers as they ramp up capacity.”
      Darren Pai, senior communications consultant for Hawaii Electric Companies, told Gies, “We can’t look to any other state for solutions because we’re encountering issues before most other places.”
      According to Gies, Hawai`i’s solar boom ran into trouble “when HECO began dragging its feet on approving new rooftop solar systems for connections to the grid, citing both technical and economic limitations. A major technical hurdle, Hawaiian Electric Co. said, is the intermittency of solar power at night and during cloudy weather. Maintaining power quality and reliability is already difficult on isolated grids such as those on each of Hawai`i’s islands, and high levels of intermittent solar power add to the challenge.

      “The economic obstacles also have been formidable. After a century of receiving power from utilities, customers are now generating their own power and helping the grid to balance supply and demand via smart appliances that can curtail electricity demand when required. To manage this more complex relationship, utilities must invest in new infrastructure. Buying surplus power at retail rates via credits to homeowners with solar panels also creates a revenue drain.”
      Clean energy consultant Bentham Paulos told Gies, “Essentially, the utility is now competing with its own customers.”
      The challenge for utilities here and worldwide is to figure out how to make it work for them, Gies said. That’s why HECO has proposed eliminating net metering, in which customers sell power back to the utilities.
            Marco Mangelsdorf, president of Hilo-based solar installation company ProVision Solar, told Gies solar can keep growing without net metering because of recent plunges in costs of photovoltaic panels and continuing state and federal tax credits.
      Isaac Moriwake, Honolulu-based attorney for Earthjustice, told Gies, “This move (by HECO to stop net metering) removes any doubt that HECO’s motivation for slowing down solar for over a year was to protect their bottom line.”
      Gies also examines NextEra Energy’s purchase of HECO. It is unclear “how the buyout would affect Hawai`i’s renewable energy expansion,” she said.
      Moriwake told her, “There’s been a lot of heart and soul poured into envisioning Hawai`i’s energy future, and we need to finish that work before we can decide which company can meet those needs. Everything is in play in Hawai`i. That’s why it’s so key to get things right.”

A BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF COFFEE BERRY BORERS looks promising, according to Andrea Kawabata, coffee and orchard crop assistant extension agent for University of Hawai`i’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources.

      The agency is working with Hawai`i Island coffee farmers to increase the numbers of Flat Bark Beetles, which include square-necked grain beetles, Cathartus quadricollis, and Leptophloeus. The insects have been in Hawai`i for years and are widely distributed. Kawabata stressed that “an augmentation of natural insect predators already occurring in Hawai`i” is occurring instead of an introduction.
      Flat Bark Beetles attack other beetle species, including Tropical Nut Borers, H. obscurus, in macadamia nuts.
      Island coffee farmers are helping with propagation and introduction of the species, according to Carolyn Lucas-Zenk, of West Hawai`i Today. Coffee farmers interested in rearing Flat Bark Beetles at a recent workshop received kits to grow the insects.
      After a few months, farmers can release the bugs, or choose to scoop some of them out and place them near and on coffee trees. They rest can be retained to begin the rearing process again.
      The program is a result of the Cathartus Project. In June 2014, Hawai`i Department of Agriculture approved and funded the project with approximately $55,000 in grant funds. The project involves CTAHR, UH’s Department of Tropical Plant and Social Sciences, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, and Daniel K. Inouye Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center.
      In tests Cathartus readily consumed CBB eggs, larvae and pupae and mangled adults, Kawabata told Lucas-Zenk. Researchers sampling coffee cherry at various farms also found Flat Bark Beetles are widely distributed and seen often in coffee trees, mainly overripe cherries and raisins. These insects have been found in samples of cherry from mills but not in green and ripe cherry samples. Also, most of Flat Bark Beetles placed in parchment and green beans in a laboratory study died within two weeks and caused no damage, she added.

KA`U SEN. RUSSELL RUDERMAN’S proposed legislation regarding coffee labeling gets a public hearing tomorrow. SB 594 would require a specific listing of geographic origins of various Hawai`i-grown coffees and the geographic or regional origins of the various coffees not grown in Hawai`i that are included in a coffee blend to be listed on the front panel of a label. It would also increase the minimum percentage requirement for coffee blends to use geographic origin in labeling or advertising to 80 percent coffee by weight from that geographic origin.
      Public testimony is due by 3:45 p.m. today. Testimony can be submitted online at capitol.hawaii.gov.

HAWAI`I STATE SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE, chaired by Ka`u’s Sen. John Green, and the Senate Committee on Energy & Environment have advanced a bill that would establish notice and reporting requirements for any entity or person that uses restricted-use pesticides under certain conditions.
      SB 801 would mandate public posting of warning signs in the area in which restricted-use pesticides are to be applied a minimum of twenty-four hours prior to the outdoor application of any restricted-use pesticide. The warning signs must remain posted during the outdoor application of any restricted-use pesticide and until expiration of the applicable restricted-entry interval established by the Environmental Protection Agency for the particular restricted-use pesticide.
      The bill also would require pre‑application written notification to any entity or person within a yet to be determined number of feet of the property line where the restricted-use pesticide is anticipated to be applied outdoors a minimum of twenty-four hours prior to outdoor application of any restricted-use pesticide.
      No later than sixty days following the end of each calendar year, any entity or person subject to this section shall provide annual public reports of all restricted-use pesticides used in outdoor applications during the prior calendar year to the Departments of Health and Agriculture. The annual public reports shall be posted online on each of the departments’ websites.
      More information on SB 801 and other bills is available at capitol.hawaii.gov.

EAST KA`U IS IN ONE OF HMSA’s Blue Zones. The purpose of the program by the state’s largest health insurer is to improve health by encouraging local leaders, businesses and other organizations to adopt and promote healthy choices and lifestyles. East Hawai`i and North Hawai`i were selected “based on the level of interest and engagement during the application process last year,” according to a story by Tom Callis in Hawai`i Tribune-Herald
      The communities “will now be working with experts from Blue Zones to create and implement a blueprint for creating permanent environmental, social and policy changes that transition people into healthier lives, healthier behavior and longer, happier lives,” said Blue Zones Project Hawai`i vice president Heidi Kim.
      Michael Stollar, HMSA’s chief transformation officer, noted problems with obesity and diabetes in the state and said it takes everyone’s effort to improve health, and the purpose of the blue zones project is to increase community involvement.
      “We want to help transform communities into blue zones where we, our children, our children’s children can grow up, have happy, healthy lives, fruitful lives and lessen the incident of chronic disease and increase the level of happiness and well being,” he said.
      At the announcement, Mayor Billy Kenoi said the county plans to support the project in the zones as well as around the island.
      “If you create bikeways, pathways and healthy recreation then your community will be healthier,” he said. “If we promote healthier homegrown local produce … everybody’s going to be healthier.”

HAWAI`I COUNTY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY will consider a bill that would require Planned Unit Development applications to be reviewed and acted on by either the Leeward or Windward Planning Commission, depending on properties’ locations. Currently, only the Planning director has to approve PUDs, and public notice follows the decisions. Decisions can be overturned by the Board of Appeals and the Third Circuit Court. The Council Planning Committee unanimously approved the measure earlier this month.
      While the initial intent of the PUD was to make for better planning by avoiding simple cookie cutter developments, PUDs are sometimes used by developers to obtain smaller, more desirable lots for estates and houses.
      Council committees meet Tuesday. All meetings, held at West Hawai`i Civic Center in Kona, are live-streamed at hawaiicounty.gov. Click on Council Meetings on left side of page. Ka`u residents can also participate via videoconferencing at Ocean View Community Center.

HAWAI`I PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY will receive a $9,036,788 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of its Capital Fund Program for Public Housing Agencies. 
      “Safe, affordable housing is a basic necessity that every person deserves,” said Sen. Brian Schatz. “This important investment by HUD will make sure the Hawai`i Public Housing Authority has the resources to help build and maintain public housing units in our most vulnerable communities. As a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, I am committed to ensuring that Hawai`i receives its fair share so that those individuals and families most in need have a safe place to call home.”
       Sen. Mazie Hirono said, “Having a safe and stable home is a basic necessity. However, 28,000 Hawai`i residents are on wait lists for affordable housing. Every family in Hawai`i deserves a place to call home, and investing in families striving to enter the middle class is one of the best investments we can make. This much needed grant will allow the Hawai`i Public Housing Authority to modernize and develop affordable housing across the state.

THE CURRENT ISSUE OF VOLCANO WATCH discusses Mike Poland’s 10 years at USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Poland is returning to Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Washington later this month. 
      Poland “has accomplished a tremendous amount of research, mentored a vast number of students and young researchers, forged close friendships and warm collegial relationships at HVO and spent considerable time trying to instill in us an appreciation for hockey,” the article states.
      “Mike came to HVO to focus on deformation – changes in the shape of a volcano resulting from magma movement and earthquakes - particularly in how those changes can be measured with satellite radar (InSAR). He quickly realized, however, that volcano monitoring requires cross-disciplinary teamwork and innovation – skills that he has proven to have in abundance.
 
Mike Poland programs a GPS receiver near Pu`u `O`o on Kilauea's East Rift Zone.
Photo from USGS/HVO
      “As an example of teamwork leading to great insights, Mike collaborated with HVO colleagues on a study that combined deformation measurements with gas emissions, lava eruption rates, lava chemistry and seismicity to reveal a dramatic increase in magma supply rate to Kilauea. This study – the first of its kind – showed how information about supply rate changes on a short timescale can help forecast the eruptive behavior of the volcano. The surge in supply started in late 2003 and led to the start of a new, long-lived volcanic vent on the East Rift Zone in 2007 and probably contributed to the opening of Kilauea’s summit vent in 2008.
      “Through Mike’s work, we also know that the opening of the summit vent was actually the result of a process that began decades ago. Analyzing data from microgravity measurements on Kilauea, he helped identify an accumulation of magma in the area beneath the current summit vent that had not been detected by any other means.
      “This insight inspired Mike to establish instruments to continuously record subtle changes in the gravity field on Kilauea. One revelation from these data is that the density of the upper part of the summit lava lake is much lower than expected – less than the density of water, implying that the lava is extremely gas-rich, similar to the foam on beer.
      “Mike put his InSAR skills to good use as well, authoring many studies that range from widespread deformation, like that associated with intrusions into Kilauea’s rift zones to localized deformation in hazardous areas such as the unstable new land formed where lava enters the sea and the rim of the Kilauea's summit vent. He also used InSAR in innovative ways, for example, in mapping lava flow coverage over time to estimate Kilauea’s lava effusion rate. ...
      “HVO staff may still not have learned to fully appreciate hockey, but we have certainly learned much about volcanic processes through Mike's work. While this Volcano Watch article mentions just a few of his accomplishments at HVO, we thank him for his countless contributions and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's wedding will be a
Hindu ceremony.
REP. TULSI GABBARD’S WEDDING DETAILS are coming out. The 33-year-old’s marriage to 28-year-old Abraham Williams will be a Hindu ceremony in April on a Hawaiian beach. 
      Gabbard accepted the marriage proposal from the cinematographer, surfer and campaign worker during a Thanksgiving surfing outing last year, according to a story in this morning’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser by Nadine Kam. The couple has been dating since last April.
      The Washington Post has called Gabbard the most eligible in Congress, and The Hill called her “the Hawaiian Heartbreaker” and number six on its list of 50 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill, the Advertiser story points out.
     Invitations go out this week. Fellow kama`aina President Barack Obama is on the guest list, but “she doesn’t know whether he will be able to attend,” the Advertiser reports.
