Castle & Cooke is seeking to block Life of the Land from intervening in proceedings before state regulators overseeing the transfer of Lanai’s utilities to new owner, Larry Ellison. 

Life of the Land filed a petition to intervene in proceedings before the state Public Utilities Commission. But Castle & Cooke is arguing that the community advocacy organization headed by Henry Curtis will unreasonably broaden the issues. 

According to PUC dockets: 

It is important to recognize that, although part of a much larger transaction,^ this Docket is not about renewable energy, is not a referendum on the sale of land, and should not be used as a vehicle to raise unrelated matters or issues.

Essentially, Castle & Cooke is saying that this is not about Big Wind.
