The money could of also upgraded our old electric infrastructure to a smart grid so we use only solor power and huge batterey bank, and electric powered cars and trucks , this way we on the islands would use no fuel on all proven equipment, so its not another kick down for the agriculture detpartment , the does not know how to grow orrganiccaly , and I bet what do grow is GMO , and if this post does not go up I will talking with president on the campus for not allowing free speech in a school I attend ,

This is what I think,

For 6 million they could re invent the motor so it does not use oil or fuel of any kind, it’s called a fuel cell an they run off water
Yeah it’s true water can be used as fuel.

Weighing in on the biofuel issue here:
Why, when we import almost all of our food, are we going to populate our agricultural areas with fuel crops? With starvation rampant in the world, and a 2 week supply of food in Hawaii it seems quite silly to me to burn our crops. Jus’ sayin…

I just finished reviewing “Betting on Biotech: Innovation and the Limits of Asia’s Development State” written by Joseph Wong of Toronto University and published by the Cornell University Press. In the book he examines the Biotech industries in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.

I am currently teaching Economics 496, Asian Economic Regionalism on campus to which I am a visitor. I can get a copy of my review to you in the off-chance that Wong’s book might be useful.

I can be reached at Extension 67938 or via the Economics Department.
