A Solution

Over the last few months every time we head over to the Laie side, we've seen the progress on the wind machines.  Yesterday when I was going over that way, I noticed that they've actually started putting the blades on.  

We had attended the North Shore Neighborhood Board meeting (like a city council~sort of) when this project was presented.  This is a great idea to use the almost constant wind in the area to generate power.  The plan is eventually have all the North Shore "off the grid", where these will be selling back power to HECO. 

We both thought that as we understood it, you couldn't see them from Kam Hiway, but this appears not to be the case.  They are located on the Kahuku side of Turtle Bay before the shrimp farms.  Granted this is pretty far away from where I took the picture, I used my telephoto,...we just don't want it to look like those that you can see on the way to Palm Springs.

Hope this is a solution to our power needs without being too noticeable (pretend they're palm trees maybe).
