Part of the plan calls for an undersea cable 222 km (138 miles) long, traversing the 1,920-meter-deep (6,300 ft.) Alenuihaha Channel. That would be the longest and deepest undersea electrical transmission line in the world. No one knows whether such a cable could operate reliably, nor whether its construction might harm the Cape Kinau nature reserve on Maui...
...island's geothermal potential range up to 3,000 megawatts, nearly twice the whole state's present electric-power consumption. The further development of new geothermal sources would be spurred if engineers could design a cable to span the 26-mile, 7,000-ft.-deep Alenuihaha Channel between Hawaii and the other islands to permit the export of electricity...
