I visited a few years ago and found out that all energy needs are barged in from California and anything they can do to lower the need for that oily substance is amplified. every house and business has a solar water heater so how about every house and business has a bike! also hundreds of broke-down cars litter the roads, not a pretty sight in paradise but maybe if we leave all the junkers for everyone to see it will remind us what were doing to the environment and what our politicians are not doing to fix the problem!
