Hawaii Snapshot — Big Wind Becomes A Plot Line For Molokai Author

By /

Hawaii Snapshot aims to connect with fascinating people all over the neighbor islands. This being Hawaii, some of our interviewees are bound to be controversial.

Take this week’s subject, Mike Bond.

Bond is a Molokai-based mystery writer and activist. In his latest novel, “Saving Paradise,” an investigative journalist is murdered. The prime suspects? Wind energy developers and a Honolulu energy utility.

While that particular storyline is fictional, Bond tells Civil Beat’s Joe Rubin that his opposition to wind energy is 100 percent real.
