Letter: LNG reenters amid renewable shortfalls

The Hawaii State Energy Office’s study shows that liquefied natural gas (LNG) is cheaper and cleaner than oil. Hawaiian Electric was exploring use of LNG, but Gov. David Ige, via the Public Utilities Commission, stopped HECO from pursuing it. Gov. Ige also stopped the acquisition of HECO by NextEra, which would have made some vital infrastructure improvements to accommodate alternative energy generation. The state and HECO will not achieve their renewable energy goals using alternative energy alone.
