#1)
Hawaii: Wind-power development seeks approx $1 Billion to
acquire large acreage near Honolulu ($200M), and install and operate five-hundred 1.5-megawatt wind-turbines, with total power generation
capacity 750-megawatts, enough to power approximately 200,000 homes, in and
around Honolulu. Hawaii has some of the highest prices of
electricity in the USA, and a steady supply of wind. This
750-megawatt wind-power development will sell electricity to the local
utility company HECO (Hawaiian Electric Co) for about half the residential
consumer price... The peak demand on Oahu (island where Honolulu is)
is around 1,200-megawatts, with a low of 400-megawatts, so this project will
power a relatively large percentage of the electrical usage around
Honolulu (where about 90% of Hawaii's population lives). Based
on selling electricity to power company for approx 50% of residential
retail price, projected annual net profit (by year 3) will be about $240 million (or
an annualized ROI more than 20%).
The operating costs are relatively small. Hawaii's new
governor has vowed to make Hawaii energy independent, and the top
energy advisors in her administration say it will only be accomplished
using wind-power, which is a free and unlimited domestic resource...
Wind-power has been around for decades, and has been tried, tested, and
proven to be clean, safe, efficient, reliable, and renewable...
[At the present time, sadly, Honolulu generates about 90% of its electrical
usage from the burning of fossil fuels, like gasoline]... This will be the largest single wind-power operation
ever built in the USA.
