I just read that Tiger Woods plans on building a luxury golf course on the leeward side of Oahu.
I'm wondering who granted him permission to suck up our precious aquifer to water grass; we're talking about thousands of gallons daily.
It seems unconscionable that one individual could have access to such a resource, worse that a committee of Hawaii residents granted him permission; even worse that a golf course serves so few.
I also read where a company was granted permission to sell bottled drinking water from Hawaii to mainlanders. The economics of such a venture, the cost of oil, to ship water to the mainland is inconsistent with our concerns about climate change.
Such business ventures should be announced upfront for months so as to encourage feedback.
