Dole says “Pineapple business hard.” Small farmers: “Hold my taro.” Now the public is being asked to bail out a wealthy multinational corporation, and letting it keep 60 percent of our water.

After decades of colonial resource extraction, Dole Plantation is sticking the public with the cost of fixing its aging Wahiawā dam and ditch system. With big Ag Park dreams, a powerful Hawaiʻi Senator wonders, “how we gon’ pay for dat?”

Nothing says climate champion like a new, 20-year fossil fuel commitment. It's Go-JERA vs Go-Green, and Gov Green is greenwashing the monster.

Hawaiʻi makes history as the first state to enact a green fee. Worldwide, tourists usually don’t mind paying these fees to offset their impact. But those who profit from the industry have long claimed the sky will fall as a result.
