A brief introduction and reminder of of the energy market here in the most isolated group of inhabited islands in the entire world - Hawaii - where we have to import ALL of our fossil fuel.

1. Cultural Conditioning
People used to think the Earth was flat and everything
revolved around the Earth (?)
~1540â s CE (or AD): Copernicus, proposed that the Earth orbited the Sun, not the other way
around.
This was known as âThe Copernican Revolutionâ or âhelio-centrism.â
~1600âs CE Galileo Galilei was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615 CE for his
support of Copernicusâs helio-centrism.
~2250 years before the above scientists, an early Greek thinker, Archimedes, while getting
into his bathtub, realized the principle of buoyancy. Sailors had known about buoyancy
since man began sailing the seas. Archimedes was able to quantify it and use his
realization to solve problems. Buoyancy: âA body immersed in a ďŹuid experiences a
buoyant, or âupwardâ force equal to the weight of the ďŹuid the body displaces.â
We will get back to buoyancy later, as we look at the situation in which we currently ďŹnd ourselves.
2. The people of the world seem to be pretty much just
âmeat robots.â
They seem to live their lives based upon their education,
training, upbringing, belief systems, ideas, cultural memes,
TV, radio, newspapers, now âblogs,â etc.
Very few humans ever come up with New Ways of
looking at the same Old Reality.
The inventor of this device has, indeed, been inspired to
think about the same Old reality in a New and useful way.
4. âHawaii is unique among the 50 states for its
lopsided dependence on petroleum. In 2008,
petroleum provided nearly 85 percent of total
energy consumed in Hawaii, much higher than the
national average of 37.5 percent.
This makes Hawaii the most vulnerable state in the nation
to disruptions in the world oil markets. Whenever the
oil price has ďŹuctuated, Hawaiiâs economy has been
signiďŹcantly affected.â
Renewable Energy in Hawaii, June, 2011
5. âEnergy costs are about 10 percent of Hawaiiâs gross state product.
Most of the energy costs are spending on petroleum and roughly 90
percent of the spending on petroleum not only leaves the state,
but goes to countries outside the U.S.
A regionâs economic vitality is reduced by a multiplied effect
for every dollar that leaves the region as a result of taking cash
out of circulation in the economy through import payments.â
Renewable Energy in Hawaii, June, 2011
6. âClearly, it is in the stateâs best economic interests
to reduce Hawaiiâs dependence on imported oil.
High oil price volatility makes it crucial to any
rational economic planning. Limited oil reserves
around the world make it increasingly critical.â
Renewable Energy in Hawaii, June, 2011
7. âClean, locally developed, renewable energy will, in the long run,
boost Hawaiiâs economy. The land, the sea, the wind, and the sun are
all capable of providing virtually limitless amounts of indigenous
energy.
Hawaiiâs abundant renewable energy resources and energy efďŹciency
technologies will make it possible within a relatively short period of
time.
In order to provide a framework to help realize this vision, the Hawaii
Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) was launched in 2008. It was an
unprecedented collaboration by the State of Hawaii and the U.S.
Department of Energy to transform the energy foundation of Hawaii to
clean energy, using Hawaiiâs own renewable and indigenous energy
resources, within a single generation.â
Renewable Energy in Hawaii, June, 2011
8. âThe goal declared in the HCEI is to transform
Hawaii to a 70 percent clean energy economy by
2030, and reaping all the attendant economic and
environmental beneďŹts of such transformation
including, increasing Hawaiiâs energy and
economic security, fostering and demonstrating
Hawaiiâs innovation, building the work force for
the future, and servings a clean energy model
for the U.S. and the world.â
Renewable Energy in Hawaii, June, 2011
9. âThe plan recognized that the transformation to
a clean energy economy includes many complex
challenges and issues.
The HCEI strategy is based on a deployment
process that supports each energy sector
separately, as well as an integrated framework that
coordinates the processes in a holistic fashion.â

17. For the County of Maui, we are looking at,
according to a MECO spokeswoman:
Expense to produce electricity for All of Maui County = $ 395.5 M/yr.
Expense for FIXED costs; maintenance; salaries; etc = $ 138.0 M/yr;
Expenses for Non-renew, Fossil-fuels to produce âFirmâ electric = $ 257.5 M/yr.
Thatâs $257.5 M/Yr,
for just Maui County,
That money is spent on imported fossil fuel.
Some of which $$ we could be diverting to
our device, which does/will not use
Fossil Fuel or any Non-renewable Fuels.
18. Now, for the entire State of Hawaii, we are looking at
Closer to $ 3B+ per year being spent for
Imported Fossil Fuels.
~ $ 3 Billion+ / year in Hawaii!
19. Do you think we have a little âwiggle roomâ?
20. In order to get part/all of that $3 B/yr,
we wonât be selling energy, necessarily.
We can manufacture, sell, lease, rent,
and maintain the units we sell, lease, rent.
Or, we can license the entire process
to another party and let them do it all.
For licensing, we get an agreed upon %.
23. Why the ÂŁ250 wind power industry could be the greatest scam of our age
â and here are the three âliesâ that prove it:
Christopher Booker â February 2011
26. âThere is no way we can hope to make up more than a fraction of the resulting energy gap solely with wind turbines, for
the simple and obvious reason that wind is such an intermittent and unreliable energy source.
Meanwhile, this country will soon be facing a colossal energy gap, while relying on politically unreliable countries such as
Russia and Algeria for gas supplies.
What we are seeing, in short, is the price we are beginning to pay for the past two decades, during which our energy policy
has become hopelessly skewed by the siren calls of the environmentalists, ďŹrst in persuading our politicians to switch from
coal and not to build any more nuclear power stations, and then to fall for the quixotic dream that we could gamble our
countryâs future on the 'free' and 'clean' power of wind and sun.
All over the EU, other politicians are waking up to the dead-end to which this madness has been leading us.
The Danes, who have built more wind turbines per head than anyone, have
realised the idiocy of a policy that has given them the
highest electricity prices in Europe,
while they have to import much of their power from abroad.
In Spain, their rush for wind and solar power has proved a national disaster. In Germany, having built more turbines than
any other country in the world, they are now building new coal-ďŹred stations like crazy.
In Holland, meanwhile, they have now given two ďŹngers to the EU by slashing all their renewables subsidies.
Only in Britain is our political class still so imprisoned in its infatuation with wind that it is prepared to court this
dangerously misguided pipedream.â

30. Broken Wind?
1.5.3 Total Firm Capacity on Maui
The total ďŹrm generating capacity on Maui is 262.3 MW - net,
including both MECO and HC&S generation. The Maui Division's
total system capacity would be reduced by 16 MW if HC&S does
not continue its operations beyond the December 31, 2014
termination date of the existing power purchase contract.
31. The 30 MW Kaheawa Wind Power, LLC, independent power producer
("IPP") wind farm resource was added to the Maui system on June 9, 2006.
The installation of this wind resource will not affect the system
capability because the wind resource is an as-available resource,
which is not dispatchable and cannot provide given amounts of
power at scheduled times.
On September 22,2006, Makila Hydro, LCC, an IPP, completed construction
of a 500 kW hydro-electric facility and commenced providing energy to the
Maui system. The installation of this hydro resource does not affect the
system capability because the hydro resource is an as-available
resource, which is not dispatchable and cannot provide given amounts of
power at scheduled times.
33. â(PV)...output during the ďŹrst half of 2012.
The PV facility does not affect the Lanai system
capability because
it is an as-available resource.â
âThe installation of this PV resource does not affect the
system capability because the PV resource is an as
available resource, which is not dispatchable and
cannot provide given amounts of power at scheduled
times.â
34. Lenny, the owner, general manager of an ofďŹce building on Maui, says,
âSolar is a perfect ďŹt for us, because we only use this
building during the daytime, when the sun is shining.
The installation of more PV panels should completely
stop our electric meters - ?â
35. But as far as people who need electricity
when the sun isnât shining:
âThe installation of this PV resource
does not affect the system capability
because the PV resource is an
âas availableâ resource,
which is not dispatchable and cannot provide
given amounts of power at scheduled times.â
37. (VI) âOn September 22,2006, Makila Hydro, LCC, an IPP,
completed construction of a 500 kW hydro-electric facility
and commenced providing energy to the Maui system.
The installation of this hydro resource:
does not affect the system capability because the
hydro-resource is an as-available resource, which
is not dispatchable and cannot provide given
amounts of power at scheduled times.
(V) The actual 2011 recorded system peak was 194,100
kW (gross) which is equivalent to189,900 kW (net).â
From MECOAOS, 3.Mar.2012
39. In Hawaii County, the geothermal resource
has been playing an important role in
electricity generation.
In 2009, 15% of the Big Islandâs
electricity was generated by geothermal.
42. Remember our Greek friend, Archimedes?
Buoyancy:
âA body immersed in a
fluid experienceâs a
buoyant, or âupwardâ force
equal to the weight of the
fluid the body displaces.â
43. From Archimedes discovery of buoyancy, we get:
âPressure Differential:â
the key to ârenewable energy ,â
âNon-fossil fuel burning energy,â
A usable, non-polluting, power source,
From which we can produce ELECTRICITY!
44.
45. What does this mean?
It means that
âA 30 foot high, one inch diameter column of water
produces
the same amount of pressure at the bottom of that
30 foot high, one inch column of water
as does the pressure at the bottom of a 10 square
mile lake, 30 feet deep.
30 feet = 30 feet,
whether one inch in diameter or
10 square miles.
Think about that!
