I don’t want to show my bias, but what the heck is the FBI doing there? Leave it to the state of Hawaii and local authorities to identify remains and DNA. Tell the FBI to pound sand. And NOT in Hawaii.

Reality bites Maui and California regarding essential maintenance of infrastructure, priorities for utilities are heavily influenced by elected and appointed government agencies and regulators. So HE and PGE are legally liable for green policies and preferences imposed by ignoramuses.

Green and DEI kills; it’s a feature not a bug.

All the officers of HE should be thrown into Mauna Loa pool of lava? (sarc) Cultural sensitivity, it aint Nebraska after all.

A legal question of proximate cause. I have a case in the Nebraska S. Ct. right now on the issue of proximate cause.

The evidence is that HE spent its time and money on wind and solar energy. A complete waste of money.

I can’t begin to tell you how much those people disgust me.
“Let the proles die, as long as I can live sustainably.” It’s a form of anti-humanism akin to Hitler’s genocide for the Jews – only worse.

Some green advocates would like the human population to be significantly reduced.

Every idiot who wants to get rid of fossil fuels should be required to watch that video. Lack of electricity and gasoline are holding the recovery efforts up. With no internet and cell phones, there’s precious little information. Energy provided by fossil fuels is needed, and badly, to help people just keep going at this point.

If the anti-fossil fuel cult has its way, the scene in Maui will become commonplace all over the U.S.

When we went through the Rat Creek Fire here in Washington state (1994) our emergency radio was invaluable. No cell phones and internet then. The fire officials kept people informed by broadcasting continuously on the Wenatchee radio station. A battery powered am radio is good emergency equipment.

The number one priority now is to restore electricity so you can have fuel, water, and food available on a regular basis.

The second priority, IMO, would be make a plan to isolate the burn area from the rest of the island. Somehow, once power, water, and food are secure, Maui needs to get its tourists to come back to Kihei and any other guest areas that are intact.

Once the cleanup and rebuilding begin there will be plenty of work for those who have the skills, but until that begins, the officials need to think about keeping the economy operating as best they can.

The lack of input from the government officials is just awful to hear about. I hope that changes and soon.
