Local Production Proposals
Several companies registered to make ethanol over 3 years ago in Hawaii, but none had started construction as of 2008/9. The two sugar cane plantations are expected to make ethanol, but only Gay and Robinson on Kauai plan to stop sugar operations to make ethanol, using two processes. The first technology is fermentation of a faster growing cane and secondary process employs Clear Fuels cellulosic process from the waste (bagasse) of the first process. Enough ethanol is expected to be made for Kauai's use, but it must be shipped to Oahu for blending and returned for sale .

Famous quotes containing the words local, production and/or proposals:
“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
