KA LAE, Hawaii: The South Point Windmills are appearing in a short film called “I Aloha Molokai – The Aftermath” …

The video was filmed and edited by noted photojournalist PF Bentley, who lives on Molokai and shares the concern of residents on Molokai and Lanai that this quote “apocalyptic scene” might occur in his own backyard… where ninety 420 foot wind turbines are planned to be built.

I Aloha Molokai, a group on the island of Molokai – opposes the installation of wind turbines on Molokai and undersea cable from the island to send power to Oahu.

I Aloha Molokai is calling it a modern day David vs.Goliath story of a little island trying to fight big government and big corporations…

The group contends that polls show 95% of the island stands opposed to the big windfarm… and it also notes that the island wont even benefit from the generated power; it all goes to Oahu.

Meanwhile, the abandoned windmills nearest South Point Road have never been taken down after the new windfarm was built… becoming an example of the scenario residents on Molokai and Lanai do not want to see on their islands.
