add to cart   close window

The article discusses the environmental debate in Hawaii concerning the inter-island Hawaii Superferry, and whether it uses too much fuel in an area populated by whales, dolphins and sea turtles. Critics feel the ferry could take the wrong species to pristine islands and that it carries too many cars. The article describes the environmental threat the ferry poses to the natural habitat, and explains how conservatives such as Hawaii's Governor Linda Lingle and financier John Lehman supported the ferry.
