Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: I'm now aware of other [energy] alternatives . . . I'm able to make decisions that better my lifestyle but also ensure there's a future for everyone else to come . . . We related a lot of the topics back to Hawaiʻi because we're in a location with an abundance of resources that aren't being fully utilized . . . Those are issues that were controversial because you had to weigh the cost of being a more sustainable island and not having to rely on outside fuels versus protecting the organisms we have here that are only found here and ensuring that the people are happy.
