You left this part out. This is why you are a manipulator of facts and stone cold propagandist. On Wednesday, Pai noted that the 180-megawatt coal-fired plant operated by AES had not prevented rolling blackouts from occurring on Oahu in the past when it was still operating. The AES plant helped cause the previous blackouts in January 2015 when it tripped offline along with several other fossil-fuel-powered plants, he said. “It’s not about how the energy is generated,” he said of rolling blackouts’ cause. “What we had here were impacts to a number of different parts of the generation system all at the same time, and that’s what put us in this situation.”

BC, The 30-minute rolling blackouts, which covered most of the island, raised renewed concerns by some residents over state leaders’ decision to close Oahu’s last remaining coal-fired plant in 2022 even though Hawaiian Electric had failed to bring online all the renewable projects needed to replace it." I've seen that coal plant myself the last time I visited Oahu. It looked rather dinky to me. I'm surprised that I didn't see more solar farms in Oahu, by the way. I'm guessing land space is at a premium, and the locals prefer vegetation over PV panels. I don't recall seeing many wind turbines, either, but maybe that's because I didn't go to the northern part of the island. Tenchusatu
