These hideous, MASSIVE industrial wind turbines are TOO BIG and TOO CLOSE! They are 568 feet tall with blades that are 220 feet wide. THE TALLEST IN THE NATION. The First Hawaiian Bank is the tallest building in Honolulu at 429 feet. These will affect the Kahuku community of 2,500 people, threatening their health and depreciating their property for the next 20+ years!
The World Health Organization recommends a setback of 5280 feet but these turbines are built only 1750 feet away from the community, 1648 feet from the Elementary school and 750 feet to residential farmer’s homes.
Imagine the families and keiki that are being FORCED TO LIVE with these MONSTER turbines destroying the sanctuary of their homes putting their health at risk. Noise, shadow flicker, stress, insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, vertigo and nausea are negative health effects that have reportedly been experienced by residents after wind turbine projects are placed in or near residential communities.
The endangered ʻōpeʻapeʻa, (Hawaiian hoary bat) the state’s official, and only endemic, land mammal is sacred and important to Hawaii’s delicate ecosystem. Oʻahu and Maui have already killed far more than the officially allowed total of 92 bats over 25 years, leading every wind company to request higher take licenses.
AES, the developer of this “green” project, is the single biggest polluter in Hawaii. They currently own and run the only coal fired energy power station plant in Kapolei, Hawaii. AES then got into windmills They are not interested in saving the world, they are interested in making a profit no matter the cost. AES Corporation, is a Fortune 500 multi-billion dollar company. Rural areas all across the nation have similar issues. Governor Ige and Mayor Caldwell have been ignoring the voice of the people. Corruption in Government occurs when they put PROFITS OVER PEOPLE! Follow the $$$ trail. Remove this HEWA now!

Stop pollution in every aspect of life to all people and life sustainability in Hawaii and all communities with regard to all land use in rural and urban societies currently impacted by industrial turbine windmills.

As a former citizen of Kahuku, my concern is, too big, too close, least efficient method of alternative energy, many better/less populous areas to establish this for greater safety.

It is so wrong to subject the children of the community to the harmful effects of wind turbines being so close to their learning environment. Way too big, way too close. It is completely inhumane mistreatment of the beautiful community of Kahuku.

Should not have been built there in the first place. And it's way to close to the community, schools and playgrounds.

Wrong in more ways than one. As you can see from this picture this is just one of the many reasons why, it is too close to my children’s school. This is not safe for any of them. No one was thinking of our children when they brought these monster turbines so close to our school and community.
