Perhaps more than others, the people who live in the Hawaiian Islands understand the importance of self-sufficiency and the need to preserve our natural environment. With the majority of America's electricity currently coming from fossil fuels—fuels which are costly and damaging to our health and environment—and demand for electricity is increasing every year, wind power offers a local and clean alternative; without burning fossil fuels, building power plants, or relying on foreign sources for our fuel.
With an abundance of this natural resource and a tradition of self-reliance, Maui is an ideal setting to capture clean, renewable wind energy. Operation of Kaheawa Wind helps reduce the emissions that lead to global warming and other environmental problems and provides local, long-term energy solutions for the people of Maui today, and for future generations.
