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[I just realized that the Eo e Emalani i Alaka&#8217;i festival is this weekend in Koke&#8217;e. I don&#8217;t usually mention events on this blog (since I don&#8217;t write often enough) but this is one of my favorite events on Kaua&#8217;i, and I urge anyone who can make it to go see it.
The festival consists of [...]]]></description>

I know Hawaiians previously lived in the valleys, but after it became illegal, they left. Or did they?
I&#8217;m not certain about exact dates, but here is a rough timeline. What&#8217;s not exactly clear is when [...]]]></description>

More seriously, this is the first time since I have lived on (and off) Kaua&#8217;i that I&#8217;ve seen Kaua&#8217;i in the predicted path:

Being a cartographile (this could be me), I love this elegant map of antipodes (rhymes with serendipities):

There have been some vulnerabilities in the WordPress blog software I use, so I had to do an upgrade to the latest version. Of course, that led to a lot of formatting issues, as you can probably [...]]]></description>
