News From the "Pineapple Island"

Not much news comes out of the island of Lanai, but here's one about a possible wind energy project:

"A draft habitat conservation plan and environmental assessment are available for public review as part of an application by Castle & Cooke Resorts for the construction and operation of seven meteorological towers on Lanai.

The towers will be used for as much as two years to collect data on wind patterns to assess whether sites could sustain a wind power generation facility."
