    These young plaintiffs are extremely naive about how our world works. You can't go "cold-turkey" on petroleum, coal, and natural gas based products such as gasoline, oil, etc. Even solar panels and vehicle tires are petroleum based. These idiots that are same one who will be complaining about high electric bills, not realizing that by restricting coal and petroleum usage in Hawaii, the cost of electricity will go even higher, and we might have to start doing planned power outages.

      @anonymous-zn2iv ,solar panels are made of silicone-crystalline, aka silicon. Silicon is a petroleum-based product.

      Creating things from petroleum is one thing. But burning petroleum for energy is another and the reason for the climate crisis we are facing.

      Also eventually oil will run out. So we have to look at alternative energy sources anyway. The sun being the best and geo thermal the next best.

    So, tell me something........... What is the difference between wasting money on a trial like this from wasting money on a train that is behind schedule, over budget, and with no real direction? Also, since supreme court judges change so often because of limitations to which they can serve, what makes this judge so special and knowledgeable about this case, and why haven't any other former judges thrown in their two cents, which is cheaper than the three million requested? On the other side the state wants to assure their transportation policy. And what, may I ask, is their policy which is so important that needs to be protected? And who the heck are these kids, with skulls still full of mush, think they are? Trying to get extra credit from a class probably run by a liberal teacher?

    We have more “respect”.
    So we need to hire people that aren’t from here to be more disrespectful.
    But if they are hired by the state and are now agents of the state then they are also bound by the aloha law.
    Chapter 5 of Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes: § 5-7.5 "Aloha Spirit"
    “''Aloha'' means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.
    (b) In exercising their power on behalf of the people and in fulfillment of their responsibilities, obligations and service to the people, the legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, executive officers of each department, the chief justice, associate justices, and judges of the appellate, circuit, and district courts may contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the "Aloha Spirit". [L 1986, c 202, § 1]”

    Double standard, double speak. Brah. Actions signal either a State insecurity about how Local sympathy could compromise their interest of defense. No Aloha in hypocrisy and rhetoric of Aloha, sustainability, and keiki/kapuna/ohana yada x 3. Why the fear in cooperation in setting a precedent in allowing the keiki to fight for a future?

    Oh please, he's basically complaining that a defendant is trying too hard to effectively defend themselves, and the plaintiffs are just youths so go easy on them. Ask who is really wasting this money - who are those enabling this lawsuit to continue. And by the way what is this obscure former justice's stake in and/or personal connection to this lawsuit?
