So if wind power is not economical in Hawaii, it can’t be economical anywhere.

Wind turbines are outside and exposed to the elements. The lightweight blades are fragile. And rust will take it's toll in any area near the ocean. The wind and rain take their toll. And Wind Turbines EAT ball bearings. So maintenance costs are horrific. And this doesn't even begin to address the intermittent nature of wind power. Of course the Power Company Electrical Engineers could have told you all the above. But what do the engineers know? You should listen to the environmentalists.

My hometown has 200 of these planned for the mountain area there. Just those put up already have created problems...they freeze up in winter...and a major operation to get them unfrozen...and the costs to maintain them is ridiculously high.
