There are a couple of viable renewable options available for Tonga, one being the burning of Saafa grass to drive steam turbines which could produce cheap electricity as does the burning of 1 million tons of straw each year in Denmark. Burning grass is CO2 neutral because the grass takes the same amount of CO2 out of the air while growing, as is returned to the atmosphere when it is burned. Indeed this option entitles the user to Carbon credits. Saafa could produce electricity for less than the diesel component alone in the current electricity price. -Peter Goldstern

In my view, it is disingenuous for Mr Goldstern to characterize what was a genuine act by the Honorable PM in his first trip to the Kingdom. I suggest that Mr. Goldstern should read up and understand the History between NZ, Australia and Tonga. - M. T. Tuaileva
