Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai'i!

     This message is to inform you of the newly established Website
describing, with investigative detail, the precedent setting case
unfolding here in Puna's coastal Red Road area upon the most active
volcano on Earth.  The setting of this pivotal case is one of the last
remaining pristine areas of Hawai'i (home to many endangered and
threatened species) in established (quarter-century), solar-powered,
residential neighborhoods.

      An electric power grid has been installed here by Hawai'i Electric
Light Co. with the aid of the County of Hawai'i.  The project has been
implemented without any environmental permits, proper public notice, due
process or environmental review and is against the wishes of a vast
majority of area residents and resident property owners.  Delivery of grid
electricity is being prevented by our legal proceedings.

     Throughout January hearings to the coming court action, Friends of
the Red Road continues to set precedent by 1) uncovering recent legal
violations, 2) insuring that the laws protecting this area from
development are enforced and 3) that offenders are held accountable.  As
massive development is planned for this paradise, Friends of the Red Road
intends to further improve the effectiveness of the Environmental Review
Process within the State of Hawai'i and, by doing so, help preserve all
the Islands for generations to come.

     This story, as the wider implications are becoming known to the
greater community, is taking on huge proportions here in Hawai'i.  We are
therefore proud to announce our new Webpage detailing this issue with
journalists in mind.

     We would greatly appreciate any advice and/or distribution of these
web addresses in terms of attracting media attention to this case.  We
have great legal standing and an excellent chance of a positive outcome in
the coming court action.  It is therefore necessary to inform the world.

     If you have ways of posting, linking, etc. these pages, please note
the details below.

     Apologies for cross-postings.

     Mahalo and ALOHA!
