FRUITION

The $1 billion Cash for Clunkers program has been wildly successful, driving sales of thousands of fuel-efficient new cars, including more than 1,000 in Hawaii. The Senate is considering putting another $2 billion into the program but critics say too much has been spent already.

Israeli envoy building bridges
Jacob Dayan lauds ventures with Hawaii, but sees extreme threats back home

By Christine Donnelly


POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, May 31, 2009

Among the ventures are Project Better Place, which has Hawaii as one of six sites worldwide pioneering electric car stations developed in Israel; and the Puna Geothermal Venture, the power plant acquired by the Israeli company Ormat Technologies Inc. in 2004.

Water management is among the areas Dayan sees as ripe for expanded partnerships.

"Water is a very big issue for Israel and for Hawaii," he said. "Israel recycles nearly 70 percent of its water, the most in the world. The second in Spain, at 20 percent."

Besides recycling water for agricultural and other uses, arid Israel makes the most of its meager water supply by using drip irrigation, operating the largest desalination plant in the world and choosing its crops wisely, Dayan said.

"We were exporting tomatoes, until we concluded that we were not just exporting tomatoes, we were exporting water! So what we did was develop special seeds and now we export those. And the seeds are much more profitable than the tomatoes ever were," he said.

Dayan said a water expert from Israel will present information to Lingle next month at the annual meeting of the Western Governors Association, in Park City, Utah.



Geothermal is receiving in 2009 under Obama, more funding then in the total of 20 previous years. A main beneficiary will be the Ormat Technologies company.
