The federal government seems to be dismissing entirely the harmful effect that these massive industrial wind turbines will do to whales (especially on humpback whales which are a popular Oahu  tourist draw)---and all the other marine animals.  The IWTs create low frequency noise and vibrations which marine life is very sensitive to.  This similar to the sonar/radar noise the U.S. Navy creates and it has been documented as very harmful to whales, dolphins, fish and other creatures.  The offshore IWTs in UK waters have caused similar low frequency, ultrasound problems for marine life there-with for example, whales beaching themselves because of the noise.   See National Wind Watch at    www.wind-watch.org  to learn the truth of the damage these monsterous, unnecessary IWTs are causing.
