What Happens When The Last Coal Ship Leaves Hawaii?
gCaptain ^ | July 31, 2022 | John Konrad

The Hawaiian islands’ coal shipments are ending. The bulker carrying the state’s final coal shipment will leave this week after refueling the state’s last coal-fired power plant. That plant is scheduled to close in September forcing the state’s energy providers to compete with the US Navy for oil tankers.

AES Hawaii, operator of the largest power plant on Oahu, received 15,000 tons of Indonesian coal from the Liberian flag bulker MV Flying Tiger. The 180-megawatt plant is the biggest source of the island’s electricity and provided 13% of the state’s overall power in 2018.

Hawaii,and the deep south of the US, has an advantage that the majority of other states do not have.
For one thing ..I’ve never heard of anyone freezing to death in Hawaii.
Also,they have a longer growing season..all year?

Are you God?

By your definition, only Adam and Eve and their direct decedents still living in the garden of Eden would qualify as “native,” and only if God agrees.

Every other human being went somewhere from someplace else.

To answer the OP title question, hut owners such as you depicted will be fined for not being connected to the grid.

All structures will be tied to and pay into the socialist power system or be deemed illegal.

In Oregon, it’s called ‘electrification’ (a ridiculous concept borne of green-minded, corrupt ‘leaders’).

When’s the next shuttle off this God-forsaken planet....?

So they’re using almost 70% OIL based plants and moving away from much cheaper coal. Where in any world but kill all American economies does this make sense?

We are living it too. I’m just waiting for the increase in my electric bill. I’m guessing 25% increase at a minimum by years end.

I predict brown outs leading to blackouts. What is the saying?

What did democrats use for lights before candles? The answer is electricity.

Hawaiians gave us Maxie quirk o, and now made this choice. Let’s see what happens to stupid people when they’re left to their own devices. Seriously, let’s just watch, nothing else.

The Russians had a great idea about DC:

“If, God forbid, these weapons are used against Russian territory then our armed forces will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers,” Medvedev warned in the new statements.
