This is great. I also think Hawaii should explore the new enhanced geothermal systems (i.e. Fervo Energy) that can apparently generate baseload electricity even in places as geothermally inactive as the Midwestern US. Fervo was in fact part of the Hawaii-based Elemental Accelerator's cohort back in 2020, so this must be on their radar.

Oahu seems like an ideal place to do this due to its seemingly higher geothermal activity (at least compared to other places that Fervo can operate), its limited land area, and its astronomical electricity prices.
