Umyalelo osayinwe yiRhuluneli yaseHawai'i yokumisa ukusebenza kwetanki yamafutha oMkhosi wase-US kunye "nokuphelisa amafutha" / ukususa amafutha kwiitanki.
Nge-6 kaDisemba, emva kokuba isihogo saqhambuka kwintlanganiso nganye yeeholo zedolophu ezintlanu ezazibanjwe kangangeentsuku ezininzi nguMkhosi waManzi wase-US ukuzama ukuthomalalisa iintsapho zomkhosi ebezisela kwaye zihlamba ngamanzi angcolileyo, iRhuluneli yeLizwe laseHawai' i wakhupha umyalelo kuMkhosi waManzi ukunqumamisa ukusebenza kweetanki ezinkulu zejethi zamafutha kwaye zingaphelanga iintsuku ezingama-30 “zisuse amafutha” okanye zikhuphe amafutha eetankini!

Kule veki iphelileyo, endaweni yokubonelela ngolwazi oluchanekileyo malunga nokungcoliseka kwamanzi okusela, iinkokeli zomkhosi eziphezulu zabanjwa kwiiwebhu zazo zolwazi olungachanekanga olunikwe iintsapho zomkhosi ezichatshazelwe ngamafutha emanzini…kwaye zanikwa iState of Hawai'i. Ekupheleni kweHolo yeDolophu nge-5 kaDisemba, amakhulukhulu omkhosi onomsindo wamajoni emntwini aye amagosa aphezulu, kubandakanya noNobhala woMkhosi waManzi kunye neNtloko yezoSebenzi zaseLwandle, ngemibuzo ebukhali kunye nezimvo ezingaphezulu kwama-3,200 kwincoko kaFacebook Live. .

Njengoko ubunkokeli boMkhosi boMkhosi bezama ukuphinda bube nokubuya kwimpendulo yabo ecothayo kumashumi amawaka kuluntu lwasemkhosini oluchatshazelwe kukungcoliseka kwamafutha ejethi, iimpembelelo zezopolitiko zokuvuza kwamafutha zanda. Kuphuhliso olukhulu, ngeCawa, nge-5 kaDisemba, njengoko uNobhala woMkhosi waManzi kunye noMphathi weMisebenzi yaseMkhosini babedibana nabanye bomkhosi wasemkhosini, iRhuluneli yeLizwe laseHawai'i kunye namalungu ama-4 e-Congressional delegation. ikhishwe ingxelo icela uMkhosi waManzi wase-US ukuba unqumamise ukusebenza kwawo wonke umsebenzi omkhulu wokugcina ijethi ye-Red Hill "njengoko bejongene kwaye beyilungisa le ngxaki."

Kwiintlanganiso zeholo yedolophu, amaqabane amaninzi asemkhosini ayebalisa ngabantwana babo abanerhashalala, izisu ezibuhlungu nentloko ebuhlungu. Abantwana abaliqela kunye nabasetyhini abakhulelweyo kwafuneka baye kumagumbi angxamisekileyo. Izilwanyana zasekhaya zazingakhuselekanga kumanzi angcolisekileyo kwaye ezininzi zazisiwa kwizilwanyana ukuze zinyangwe. Iintsapho ezingaphezu kwe-1000 zifuduselwe kwiihotele zaseWaikiki.
Iyamangalisa into yokuba kukungcoliseka kwepetroli emanzini kumakhaya eentsapho zomkhosi okuzise ubungozi bomntu oneminyaka engama-80 ubudala, evuza iitanki zamafutha e-Red Hill entloko.
Okwenzekileyo kwiintsapho zomkhosi kugxininisa iingozi kubahlali be-400,000 base-Honolulu abo amanzi abo aya kungcoliswa ngokuvuza okukhulu okuxelwe kwangaphambili ukusuka kwiitanki zokugcina amafutha angaphantsi komhlaba. Ukuba i-aquifer ye-Honolulu ine-fuel, ingcoliseka ngonaphakade. Amanzi asuka kwezinye iindawo zesiqithi kuya kufuneka ajikwe kwaye amanzi agcwele izikhephe kufuneka athathwe kumhlaba omkhulu.
