Are there no geothermal energy plants that produces electric in Kauai ?
Greetings from Iceland ;)
Velkominn! Eftir því sem ég best veit, nei. (Welcome! As far as I know, no.)
But there&#8217;s a map for that:

These maps were produced in 2000 by GeothermEx, a &#8220;geothermal exploration, development, and operations&#8221; company based in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we moved to California at the end of last year, I  was looking for ways to remind myself of Kaua&#8217;i in a positive, hopeful way. And I suppose, I also wanted a way to tell others &#8220;Hey, I just moved here from Kaua&#8217;i.&#8221;
So, for the first time in my life, I really wanted [...]]]></description>

It was even reported in California, a state with similar prices for gas and other cost of living expenses.

Of course it&#8217;s exotic, but what is hiding behind that word? Kaua`i is tropical, not cold, very different from the mainland, and I think that difference is the natural beauty of the landscape.
