U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie supports efforts to find new sources of alternative energy. And that search has taken him to Lawai, Kauai where an entrepreneur, Bill Cowern, is operating an exemplary sustainable tree. The farm, Hawaiian Mahogany Company, has attracted the attention of Abercrombie and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson. Abercrombie visited Cowern on Kauai.
This is extremely cool - sustainable lumber with a closed cycle and no waste, oil palms for biodiesel, even cutting-edge biochar carbon sequestration.
