Bangaphezu kuka-470 abantu asebephawule ngalolu daba I-Joint Base Pearl Harbour Hickam umphakathi Facebook mayelana nephunga likaphethiloli eliphuma kompompi babo bamanzi kanye nokukhanya emanzini. Imindeni yezempi ibika ubuhlungu bekhanda, ukuqubuka kanye nesifo sohudo ezinganeni nasezifuyweni. Ukuhlanzeka okuyisisekelo, amashawa kanye nelondolo yizinto ezikhathaza kakhulu izakhamuzi.

UValerie Kaahanui, ohlala endaweni yamasosha eDorris Miller, uthe yena nezingane zakhe ezintathu baqala ukuqaphela izinkinga esikhathini esingangesonto eledlule. “Izingane zami bezigula, izinkinga zokuphefumula, ikhanda elibuhlungu. Ngike ngaphathwa yikhanda ngesonto eledlule,” kusho yena. “Izingane zami zopha ngamakhala, ziqubuke, siluma siphuma eshaweni.

Indiza ye-Sierra Club Hawai'i ezingozini zamathangi e-Red Hill Jet Fuel Storage kanye Nokubiza Ukuvala Phansi

I-Sierra Club isineminyaka ixwayisa mayelana nezingozi zokuphakelwa kwamanzi e-Oahu asuka endaweni evuzayo yethangi likaphethiloli lejethi elineminyaka engu-80 ubudala. Eveza izinsongo zamanzi okuphuza e-Honolulu, i-Sierra Club yaseHawaii kanye nabavikeli bamanzi base-Oahu bacele uMongameli uBiden, ithimba lekhongolose laseHawaii kanye nebutho laseMelika ukuthi livale amathangi kaphethiloli avuzayo.

Ngizama nje ukubenza bavume ubungozi - ubungozi obukhona - obubangelwa yilesi sisetshenziswa sikaphethiloli ekuphakelelweni kwethu kwamanzi okuphuza. Okwamanje akukacaci ukuthi uphethiloli ugeleza kanjani futhi kuphi, uma kukhona ukuvuza okukhulu, ngokushesha kangakanani nokuthi uzofudukela e-Halawa shaft, okungaphinda kube inhlekelele enkulu. Sonke sifuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi lokhu akubambisi wezinto ezizayo zalokho okungenzeka kube nomthelela engxenyeni enkulu, ebanzi kakhulu yabantu lapha. ”

Izingozi ezivela Emathangeni Okugcina Isibaseli Angaphansi Komhlaba

Isithombe se-Sierra Club Hawai'i samathangi e-jet fuel angaphansi komhlaba

The amaqiniso ethulwe ecaleni efakwe yiSierra Club ngokumelene neNavy yethula ubufakazi bezingozi zamathangi aneminyaka engu-80 ubudala ahlanganisa:

1). Amathangi ayisishiyagalombili, ngalinye liqukethe izigidi zamalitha kaphethiloli, awakaze ahlolwe eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amabili; ezintathu zazo azizange zihlolwe eminyakeni engama-38;

2). Uphethiloli ovuzayo kanye nezingxenye zikaphethiloli sezitholakele emanzini angaphansi komhlaba ngaphansi kwesikhungo;

3). Izindonga zethangi lensimbi elincanyana zigqwala ngokushesha kunalokho obekulindelwe uMbutho Wezempi Wamanzi ngenxa yomswakama ezikhaleni phakathi kwamathange kanye nebhokisi lawo likakhonkolo;

4). Uhlelo lweNavy lokuhlola nokuqapha amathangi ukuthi awavuzi yini alukwazi ukubona ukuvuza okunensayo okungase kubonise ingozi ephakeme yokuvuza okukhulu, okuyinhlekelele; ayikwazi ukuvimbela iphutha lomuntu eliholele ekukhishweni okukhulu kukaphethiloli esikhathini esidlule; futhi ayikwazi ukuvimbela ukuzamazama komhlaba, njengalokho okuchithe imiphongolo kaphethiloli engu-1,100 XNUMX lapho amathange esemasha.

I-Sierra Club kanye ne-Oahu Water Protectors amakhodi e-QR ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana ne-Red Hill underground jet fuel tanks.

The isitatimende somfelandawonye we-Oahu Water Protectors inikeza ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nokuvuza okuvela emathangeni okugcina:

- Ngo-2014, amalitha angu-27,000 kaphethiloli wejethi aputshuke ku-Tank 5;
- NgoMashi 2020, ipayipi elixhunywe eRed Hill lavuza inani elingaziwa likaphethiloli ePearl Harbor Hotel Pier. Ukuvuza, okwase kumile, kwaqala futhi ngoJuni 2020. Cishe amalitha angu-7,100 kaphethiloli aqoqwa endaweni ezungezile;
- NgoJanuwari 2021, ipayipi eliholela endaweni ye-Hotel Pier lehluleka ukuhlolwa okubili kokutholwa kokuvuza. NgoFebhuwari, usonkontileka weNavy wanquma ukuthi kunokuvuza okusebenzayo e-Hotel Pier. UMnyango Wezempilo uthole kuphela ngoMeyi 2021;
- NgoMeyi 2021, ngaphezu kwamalitha angu-1,600 kaphethiloli avuza endaweni ngenxa yephutha lomuntu ngemuva kokuthi umqhubi wegumbi lokulawula ehlulekile ukulandela izinqubo ezifanele;
- NgoJulayi 2021, amalitha angu-100 kaphethiloli akhululwa ePearl Harbor, okungenzeka avela emthonjeni oxhunywe endaweni yaseRed Hill;

– Ukuhlolwa kobungozi kweNavy uqobo kubikwa ukuthi kunamathuba angama-96% okuthi avuze amalitha kaphethiloli angaba ngu-30,000 ku-aquifer eminyakeni eyi-10 ezayo.

Ingabe Ukuvikeleka Kwabantu Kuphinde Kuvikeleke Kuzwelonke?

I-Navy ixwayise ngokuthi amathangi abalulekile kwezokuphepha kwezwe laseMelika. Izishoshovu zezakhamizi, okuhlanganisa nomfelandawonye osanda kusungulwa we-Oahu Water Protectors, zikugcinile ukuthi udaba lwangempela lwezokuphepha kuzwelonke ukuvikeleka kokuphakelwa kwamanzi kubahlali abangu-400,000 esiqhingini esiqhele ngamamayela angu-2300 ukusuka ezwenikazi eliseduze kanye nesiqhingi esithathwa njengendawo ebalulekile yezempi ukuze kuqalwe ngayo. amandla. Uma i-aquifer yase-Honolulu ingcolisiwe, amanzi kuyodingeka ahanjiswe esuka kwamanye ama-aquifer akulesi siqhingi.

Kuyamangaza ukuthi uvivinyo olukhulu lokuvikeleka kwabantu ngokumelene nezikhungo zokuphepha zezwe mayelana nokungcoliswa kwamanzi okuphuza emindeni yamasosha namalungu ezempi ahlinzeka ngesici somuntu wecebo lezempi lase-US ePacific..nokuthi ukuphepha kwe-400,000 phuza emanzini angaphansi kwe 970,000 izakhamizi ezihlala e-Oahu kuzonqunywa ukuthi i-State of Hawai'i kanye nohulumeni wobumbano baphoqelela kanjani i-US Navy ukuba iqede ingozi enkulu eyinhlekelele yokuphakelwa kwamanzi eziqhingini ngokugcina ivale amathangi kaphethiloli e-Red Hill jet.
