Burning Plastic Isn’t Renewable: Rethinking Waste & Power In Hawaii
Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. The starting point for evaluating Oʻahu’s waste-to-energy plant is the fully electrified energy system developed earlier in this series. Once overseas aviation fuel, international maritime bunkering, and military energy consumption are removed from the accounting, and once transportation, buildings, and industry are electrified, the island’s civilian electricity demand settles at roughly 6,000GWh per year.

A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

Hawaii Senate Passes Bill To Create Psychedelics Task Force And Study Pathways To Access Psilocybin And MDMA
The Hawaii Senate has approved a bill that would create a psychedelics task force responsible for studying and making policy recommendations on providing access to breakthrough therapies such as psilocybin and MDMA. After advancing through the committee process, the full Senate on Friday passed the legislation from Sen. Chris Lee (D) in a unanimous vote of 24-0, sending it to the House of Representatives for consideration. The measure would create a Mental Health Emerging Therapies Task Force that’d be tasked with spending two years reviewing the current scientific literature, supporting additional clinical research and “developing policy recommendations for safe, ethical, and culturally-informed implementation” of a psychedelics therapy program.

Fish found in a dumpster before the aquarium trade was regulated. A bill to ban it in West Hawaii is coming to the state House floor for a final vote possibly this week. Then to the Senate. It may be permanently ended.
