The Star-Advertiser thinks it’s a great idea to go after the fossil fuel companies (“Give state day in court with Big Oil,” Our View, Oct. 11). Oahu gets 67.7% of its energy from fossil fuels. Hawaii depends on tourists. The tourists come over on airplanes, which burn fossil fuels. What is the thinking?
The last time I was in Boulder, Colo., I saw lots of cars that were not electric. If these people really don’t like carbon-based fuels, then don’t use any products that include petroleum. Going after petroleum companies and winning will just increase the cost of fuel to us. Until someone else comes up with a magical source of energy, petroleum is not going away.
