The potential threat to Honolulu's water supply lurking underground 

I often say, Earnie for President. He's my hero!

I mean it is his job as a engineer for the state water supply.

YESSAH, that’s my boss! Right next to you on this Boss. 💪🏽🤙🏽

Why didn’t he prevent it?

@@TheJuice_1995 he tried to prevent it. The Navy wouldn’t work with him on it. Blame the Navy, the guys that are actually at fault.

I am from Oahu and was stationed at Pearl when I was in the navy for awhile. The base is old as hell and was built during a time when Hawaii was just a rest and relaxation place. Basically saying they didn’t care. In this situation they will delay as long as possible. The money it costs to clean that up will be immense. If even possible.

@@hansolo8225 so what?

Why do you think they care?

The government does not worry about citizens. They are at the mercy of the government. Free is the illusion.

Haven't you heard the military is in the business of killing people not helping them.

everything the military touches they contaminate the area....

It's always a blunder, always for safety Yet it never is.

Water was so pure it wasn't chlorinated.

Still some of the best. One of the only states that doesn't poison their residents with flouride

That Hawaii insists on being part of the human race, yet to be left behind in the 1840's is the real human tragedy.

@@GNMi79 Excellent point. The water the farmers mixed with their chemicals and used in the fields had not reached the water tables yet. It takes decades to percolate naturally down into the reservoirs there. The farmers had to have been aware of this because they all pulled out simultaneously over a period of about 20 years and relocated to South America. This left a large population of people without work and land water that makes people sick and requires special filtration systems to drink now. The generations of land owners that poisoned the wells sold the land and left most of their equipment. Dole even too the "iconic" pineapple water tower with them along with their cannery. Sugar growers pulled out citing loss of government subsidies and incentives to remain in Hawaii. Their employees were involved in long term studies of the effects of burning sugar can to harvest it. Many employees developed lung diseases and OSHA was involved. So, they had less reason to stay than pinapple. To seal the deal, these farming families sold land to other unsuspecting farmers, realtors, and developers who are now responsible along with the state for restoring the water table to potable.

What does contaminating the drinking water has to do with golf balls? Maybe you should drink the water.

@@krp2nyte. It’s not hard to understand, they are taking the water and using it for tourism capitalism….golf courses and resorts

@@krp2nytedo you know how much water is required to maintain a golf course?

Neglect and incompetence

Republicans hate the idea of being taxed but love the military. thats why

It sounded like they said it is empty now just remnants in the pours of the rock.

following orders duh! u think they are there to serve and protect? only there to serve and protect the khazars and nobody else.

​@@slumy8195laziness and complacency, all on taxpayer's dime. That dime would include yours.

You mean capitalism?

Right. Because the navy contaminating their water is something Hawaiians should have planned for and paid for. Makes perfect sense. 🤦‍♂️ How about government not leaving derelict sources of contamination? How about every single project with contaminants (military, construction, oil/gas, etc) actually have a budgeted decommissioning fund as mandatory part of their permitting. You know how many derelict oil wells there are in the US, where companies went in, drained the public resource, made their money, and left without cleaning up? In 2021 over 130,000 orphan wells that remain unplugged, spewing methane etc. And now tax payers are having to pay to clean up remains from that for-profit piracy.

The water wasters. Military and Hotels.

Those plantation lands are now being used by Monsanto and other chemical companies doing experiments on GMO crops. They are spraying tons of chemicals and it’s running off into the ocean and into the air.

Yeah, sea turtles had cancer all over their bodies. They saw what happened and changed their ways…..it’s called learning from your mistakes 🙏🏼🩵

That's what the Navy thinks.

@@richelledietz Surprised they released the report... I betcha at the time of construction they got cheap with materials?

And broke the water table on that island in the process. Now there’s no fresh water there. The US military destroyed it.

@@ecebear3 I know. Military does not care. Nor does The fake state. They are all in bed. It’s a 3some. Military, fake state and HTA.

@@ecebear3 Kahoolawe has always been extremely dry, but its deforestation due to the introduction of sheep and goats contributed a lot to its dryness. The bombing destruction just made things worse.

Climate change. 😂😂😂

​@@GNMi79Curious. I'm not from there, but according to NYT work published by Univ of Hawaii and Colorado in 2015 reported a 31% reduction in rainfall in the wet season since 1994. You know, science, not anecdotal opinion. Weird

@@GNMi79 Hawaii's current drought is expected to continue well into next year, and possibly even into the 2024 dry season, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast. All 8 of the main Hawaiian Islands have experienced drought conditions. Only select leeward areas of Hawaii Island and Maui have moved into severe or extreme drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

“$1.2 billion for a problem we have no evidence of that it’s actually occurring”

All the drinking water comes from underground wells. Honolulu is the largest city and gets its water from that well that needed to be shut down.

Go drink the jet fuel for 700 bucks

Bachi

Careful, das bachi @@daone5086

It was in the news couple years ago. Do some research it doesn’t hurt. Idk why 60 minutes only talking about it now haha

To prevent freezing WHILE IN FLIGHT. Military Jet Fuel gets carried by Military Jets above 30,000 feet.

@@GNMi79 no but it would make more clean water available.

No, but I heard some thing about steel beams

Engineers designed this fiasco in the first place.

That's what the over 1 billion dollars is for.
