JATrash Plan
January 18, 2008
Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hanneman, in addressing the Oahu trash problem, announced plans to ship Oahu trash to the mainland and expand the HPOWER plant to burn more trash. The city will begin shipping trash to the mainland starting next year and will build a third HPOWER boiler by the year 2011. Some have objected to expanding HPOWER because the plant will produce more ash, which will eventually have to be placed in a landfill. The Mayor noted these objections, but still favors the ability to generate more electricity for city use.
